We had three X-Yachts in this year's Rolex Sydney to Hobart yacht race - all three have arrived safely and have done us all proud.

Conditions this year were not perfect for yachts of our design, but we have achieved some good placings.

  • 42nd overall
  • 8th IRS Div 2
  • 6th ORCi Div 2
  • 13th Corinthian IRC

Patrice Six X-41

  • 12th IRS Div 3

XS Moment - Xp44

  • Had a mishap at the start and spent 50 mins doing repairs in the Harbour before heading South - two hours after the start XS Moment was in 92nd position
  • 52th overall at the finish!
  • 14th IRS Div 2
  • 13th ORCi Div 2
