Santana

Santana is back after last contesting the 2019 Rolex Sydney Hobart where she represented Lake Macquarie Yacht Club and Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club. “We have repaired the spinnakers and restocked the fridge. The lamb shanks are on order and the red wine laid in the cellar,” a ready to rumble owner, Michael Graham, says.

Previously, Mike Kelaher skippered Santana in the 2004 Rolex Sydney Hobart. She has also done the race as Santana Baby Lock in 1991 and as Leda in 1995. Built in Norway, Graham had this beautiful Swan 43 refurbished before contesting the 2018 Sydney Noumea Race. Santana is one of three Swan designs in the 80th race this year and if the weather gets rough, they will handle it – elegantly, of course!
