Flying Fish Arctos

 

Flying Fish Arctos’ best result in the Rolex Sydney Hobart was in 2010 when the crew won PHS overall. Last year she finished a good third overall under PHS, which converted to second in PHS Division 2 - adding to her two other second places from 2008 and 2009. These are great results for the flagship of the Flying Fish offshore training fleet which is crewed by a number of international amateurs who compete in the race as a personal challenge together with some veteran hands from previous Hobart campaigns.

The crew will head south under the direction of Duncan Macalister again aboard Flying Fish Arctos, a strong and powerful cutter rigged Australian designed yacht that was originally built to race around the world.
