Michael Rowe bought the yacht previously known as Sail Exchange, it was then owned by Carl Crafoord and Tim Horkings. The pair purchased the former ‘About Time’ in 2018 and retired the yacht from its last Hobart in 2022 after the rudder broke. In 2019 the Cookson 12 finished 16th after placing 18th for third in Division 3 in 2018, Crafoord’s first Hobart as an owner. Rowe came to grips with the boat at Airlie Beach Race Week this year, then entered the 2024 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Race and placed 24th overall and fourth in Division 1. He has previously sailed the race on the likes of Azzurro and Supernova.
