Xanthus

 

Matthew Fifield is a regular in club and local races on Sydney Harbour with a former X yacht, Makara. He did the 2014 Rolex Sydney Hobart on Flying Fish Arctos - his only Hobart. Fifield has enlisted Benjamin Roulant to skipper the X-55 in this year’s race. Roulant did the 2019 and 2021 Sydney Hobarts on Eve, skippering her in the latter race. The X-55, a luxury performance cruiser, is a lovely beamy yacht, described as elegant, fast and comfortable. It won European Yacht of the Year for 2006/07. If nothing else, her crew will have a comfortable ride.
