Ausmaid

 

This will be Ausmaid’s first Rolex Sydney Hobart since claiming overall handicap honours in the 2000 race under South Australian skipper Kevan Pearce. Ausmaid also claimed top honours in the 1996 Sydney Hobart under the command of Victorian skipper Georgio Gjergja and is one of only six boats to have won the race overall more than once. Trevor took charge of Ausmaid in 2004 and has achieved good results in the past two seasons including winner of this year’s Bunbury and Fremantle to Cape Naturaliste races.
