A few years back David Kent restored Gillawa to use as a training vessel and to give ACT sailors the opportunity to extend their sailing beyond the confines of Lake Burley Griffin. Although Gillawa finished last in the previous two Rolex Sydney Hobarts, Kent is determined to complete the race safely while giving the ACT’s ocean going rookies an experience of a lifetime. Gillawa might not make it to Hobart for New Year's Eve but her crew will certainly give it their best shot.
