Luna Blue will return for its second Rolex Sydney Hobart under the leadership of owners John Turnbull, David Watson and Steve Kellaway. The syndicate from the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club will be strong contenders amongst their division, having demonstrated the ability to win when they claimed the RPAYC Bluewater Championship in 2013/14 and were also runners up the following season. So far this season the team has only raced in the Flinders Islet Race, placing 10th in PHS Division 2.
