Martin James’ Farr 65, a former IRC handicap winner of the Sydney Gold Coast Race and two-time line honours winner of the Gosford to Lord Howe Island Race, has done plenty of sea miles including nine Rolex Sydney Hobarts.  Skippered by Les Goodridge and navigated by Ian ‘Bugsy’ Potter, a 30-time Rolex Sydney Hobart competitor, Pirelli will have plenty of experience amongst the crew for her 10th race south.
