Flirt

 

Flirt was raced extensively in the UK throughout 2003 and 2004 under a previous owner, winning several major IRC events there and in the Caribbean. She was purchased in 2004 by Chris Dare and made her mark early. Recent top results include 2nd over the line and on IRC overall handicap in this year’s Sydney Mooloolaba and 2nd in the 2005-06 Ranges Series. Joining Dare and his largely Victorian crew is veteran of 29 Rolex Sydney Hobart races, Roger Hickman.
