Courtesan

 

Perth-based surgeon Philip Childs has assembled an eclectic crew for his first Rolex Sydney Hobart Race including a geologist, sailmaker, boilermaker, airline pilot, teacher and engineer.

Many of the crew have notched up more than 20 years of offshore sailing experience each and the boat has enjoyed good results in the Fremantle-Geraldton and Fremantle-Bunbury yacht races.
