Hollywood Boulevard

 

An eclectic international crew from the UK, France, Canada, USA and one from Australia, led by Mike Miller, will race Ray Roberts’ Farr 55 in the 80th Sydney Hobart. Miller describes himself as: “An offshore sailor, mentor and adventurer with a passion for the ocean and for developing people.” He was a watch leader for Aussie, Wendy Tuck (the first woman to skipper a victorious circumnavigation), on Sanya Serenity Coast, when they won the 2017/18 Clipper Round the World Race.

Mike grew up racing laser dinghies from the age of 7 in Singapore harbour, and cruising with his family in Malaysia and Thailand. Hollywood Boulevard is a successful yacht that last headed south in 2019 and carries a best place of 10th overall in 2018. Before then, she did the race as OneSails Racing and was originally Michael Hiatt’s Living Doll, placing second overall in 2011.
