The Ensign Yachts Team
Greg Luck, the owner of a well-travelled Bavaria 45 Cruiser called 'Curlew Escape' has been stacking up the sea miles since we last spoke to him, with new and exciting sailing adventures. Greg's recent trip took him to Heron Island and Fitzroy Reef.
"The next day was a beautiful close haul to Heron Island under blue skies with puffy clouds. When we arrived the public mooring was occupied, so we went to the Wistari Reef public mooring. The yacht is 12 years old now and still in great condition. Something I have been happy to learn about is the closed-cell foam sandwich fiberglass construction. We have had a few knocks over the years, mostly when racing which have gotten repaired and returned the yacht to perfect condition."

Following the Nautitech 44 Open's recent win of the European Yacht of the Year 2023 (EYOTY) award for the multihull class, Yachting World have released this sea trial review showcasing the 44's highlights. The EYOTY Award is the most important, influential, and most widely communicated boatbuilding prize worldwide.
From the jury:
This is a catamaran that makes the heart beat out at sea rather than at a boat show. Axel Nissen-Lie, Norway
Sailing sensation sets the Nautitech apart. Shes delightfully sensitive in light wind and gets more and more convincing with speed which she picks up to very decent numbers. Pasi Nuutinen, Finland

"Division 2 ... PHS victory went to Sean Rushs Ensign, which pipped Time Bandit on countback." Check out the full article with all the regatta winners. Thank you to all the other competitors and to RPAYC for putting on the great regatta. The 'Ensign' team is looking forward to next year!
