Bowline

 

Ian Roberts sailed Bowline to 33rd in their first Rolex Sydney Hobart in 2021 in trying conditions. The RSAYS Commodore has been campaigning the Beneteau First 44.7 in club races in SA, both inshore and offshore. A mix of crew selected for their experience and aptitude for offshore races, and also those who have just begun to sail offshore, Ian fulfils his commitment to stimulate offshore racing programs in South Australia. The former Le Billet, with its good track record, was purchased by Roberts in 2021.
