Aurora

 

This Lake Macquarie yacht achieved her best results in the two heavy weather Hobarts of 1998 and 1999, where she finished 2nd and 3rd in division respectively. Good crew experience on board this one-off Farr 40 including the husband and wife team of Jim and Mary Holley. This year Jan Howard will start her 15th Rolex Sydney Hobart, just one behind Adrienne Cahalan, while Mary Holley will reach the significant milestone of 10 races for women.
