Vixen Racing

Vixen Racing is a modified Class 40 from the design board of Guillaume Verdier and the 80^th is her first Rolex Sydney Hobart. She was launched in 2008 as Desafio Cabo de Horno and won the Global Ocean Race.

Vixen Racing is a new team led by double Olympian, Sharon Ferris-Choat, a Canadian-born New Zealander who has raced around the world three-times and is a world speed record holder.

Ferris-Choat, who skippered the Open 60 Awen to Hobart last year, says Vixen Racing will be a dynamic and competitive team in the 80th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Her crew is a blend of females and males. There are so many fast yachts of around 40 feet in the fleet this year, including Elizabeth Tucker’s Class 40, First Light, so the rivalry will be rife.
