Mahligai

Mahligai

 

Skippered by Murray Owens and navigated by Jenny Kings, but crewed mainly by Russians in last year’s race, Mahligai, sailing as Art Equity Mahligai, finished sixth overall under PHS and won Division 1, living up to their other best results. In the 2013 Rolex Sydney Hobart, they moved up a notch from their ninth overall under PHS in 2011, with a sixth overall in PHS, to claim first in Division 1. The two New Zealand owners live in Sydney and race out of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia. They have contested the Hobart race five times with their Sydney 46 and finished every one.
