Chutzpah

 

This is Bruce Taylor’s sixth Chutzpah, a state of the art Reichel/Pugh design, built by Mal Hart. In her first Rolex Sydney Yacht in 2007 Chutzpah won Division C and placed 4th overall and in the 2008 Hobart she scored another IRC 2 divisional win.

Last year, Chutzpah placed third in IRC Division 2 and with over 30 years of competing in the ocean classic Taylor has notched up an amazing ten divisional wins as well as one 2nd and one 3rd overall. Chutzpah won the IRC/AMS handicap double in the ORCV’s 2008 Melbourne to Stanley race; and IRC Division 2 in the 2008 Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race.
