The veteran couple Neville and Valerie Chidgey have competed in eight Sydney Hobart races since they owned Mystic Seven and they have always finished including last year when they remarked at the finish, 'it was a bit rough, but we did no damage'. They have also competed in eight Lord Howe races, ' all for fun'. In their words, 'we cannot win on rating, but we will give a good account of ourselves'.
