Super Catamaran Mojo has joined the fleet for the 2016 Bartercard Coffs to Paradise Yacht Race. With conditions set to favour a fast race, Mojo will certainly give the race record a shake. Mojo is a fast racing Catamaran owned by former V8 super card driver Tony Longhurst.

Skippered by Peter Hawkins, Peter along with the crew believe if conditions stay as predicted they will certainly push the boat as hard as they can to give the race record a shake. “We are really excited about the chance to compete in this race, especially with the expected conditions” said Peter.

With a finish time of one day, 10 hours and 16 minutes Mojo recently finished to the 35th Annual Club Marine Pittwater to Coffs Yacht Race, awarded first place in the OMR division and second overall in the Mulltihull Line Honours.

Mojo will also be competing in the annual Bartercard Sail Paradise series, contested on the Gold Coast waters from 13th – 17th January 2016, and will certainly be a contender for overall champion of both events.

Details for the Bartercard Coffs to Paradise race and Bartercard Sail Paradise 2016 can be found on the club’s website.
