Inner Circle

 

Inner Circle, a 27-year-old Farr designed 40-foot yacht sports a long history of ocean racing. The last Rolex Sydney to Hobart Inner Circle competed in was in 2008. This was a disappointing race for the owner and crew who had to retire into Eden. Remembering his late father’s comments on what a great boat she had been, was inspiration for Darren to clean her up and give her another go after five long years of sitting on her mooring in Lake Macquarie. He is joined by a few neighbours and friends who have previously declared that they would never do another Hobart. They have all worked tirelessly and sacrificially to make this dream a reality.
