Another Challenge

 

Another Challenge has seen two owners and seven trips to Hobart in her ten years on the water. The first four years were spent with the renowned Lou Abrahams sailing the boat in four of his 44 races south.

In 2004, Chris Lewin and his young crew of university students inherited the boat for the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, achieving third in the Sydney 38 division. Since then, she has been part of two further races under Lewin’s direction – the most recent in 2007 with an 'inverted' crew of five young, experienced offshore sailors and five 'mature aged students' eager to learn. This year's entry represents an evolution of the 2007 crew, with the core team returning, together with some new faces in the mix.
