Profile
SWD scored a PHS win in last year’s Sydney Mooloolaba and a second in the inaugural Sydney Mackay Yacht Race in the same year. This specially designed 54-footer has contested every east coast regatta and offshore race since being launched in 2000. With their previous boat, Pescud and his crew won PHS Division A of the storm battered 1998 Sydney Hobart. SWD also holds the monohull circumnavigation of Australia record. One of five yachts contesting this year’s Audi Sydney Mackay Yacht Race.
