Sextant

 

Long term members of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, Denis and Lynne have cruised and raced their boats extensively in Australia and the South Pacific and out of the CYCA for many years. Since purchasing this latest Sextant, an XC42, in 2011 they have cruised to Tasmania and Lord Howe Island. They are now taking this opportunity to sail with their long term friend Glenn Miles in the Cruising Division of the 70th Anniversary Rolex Sydney Hobart for this unparalleled experience. It is their intention to undertake more cruising around Tasmania and attend the famous Wooden Boat Festival.
