Team Swish is looking to build on some recent successes offshore including wins in IRC Division 3 of the Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and the Audi Sydney Offshore Newcastle Yacht Race in 2009. The addition of a masthead spinnaker to this Sydney 38 has significantly improved the downwind performance and gives the boat a real chance for a division win.

Swish’s best performance in the Rolex Sydney Hobart was 4th overall and a win in the Sydney 38 Division in 2009. Swish is also competing in the Tasman Pointscore Series and is currently in second place. She has been a regular competitor in major east coast races over the past nine years.
