White Noise

 

Daniel Edwards is back for the 80th Rolex Sydney Hobart after steering White Noise to 28th overall last year and finishing 16th overall and third in Division 3 in 2023. This was a happy ending for Edwards and the crew, as they were forced to retire after suffering damage in the previous two races. Edwards has enjoyed success with this M.A.T. 1245 since launching in 2019, including blitzing the field in the Ocean Racing Club of Victorias’s (ORCV) 49th King Island Race in 2021.

With his previous White Noise, a Beneteau, Edwards was crowned ORCV’s Offshore Champion for 2016-2017 and continues to race in the Club’s offshore season in the lead up to the big event.
