Oroton Drumfire

 

The stunning Oroton Drumfire, owned by Will Vicars, returns for a fourth time to the Rolex Sydney Hobart and after winning PHS overall last year. Joining the crew this year are amongst some of the best female sailors in the world, Stacey Jackson (she skippered an all-female crew on Wild Oats X to second place in the 2018 Rolex Sydney Hobart), multiple Olympian Carolijn Brouwer and single-handed round the world sailor, Jessica Watson. A Hoek design, Drumfire is named for the long-distance desert racehorse of the same name. She is immaculately prepared by skipper, Phillip Neil.
