Crux (DH)

 

Carlos Aydos and Crux return having not done the Sydney Hobart since 2022 when they finished 38th overall, third in Division 5 and fourth in the Double-Handed IRC Division. She has been owned by Aydos since 2018 and he and Grayson placed second in the Double-Handed division in both IRC in their first Rolex Sydney Hobart in 2021.

This is the last S&S 34 ever built and under her former name, Blondie, she won the Fremantle to Geraldton race. One of the great S&S designs in the race, heavy weather is her friend. Crux is contesting the CYCA’s Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore in order to improve her chances in the 80th Sydney Hobart.
