Profile
Sailors with disAbilities had a PHS win in 2007 Rolex Sydney Hobart Race, following on from a PHS win in 2006 Sydney Mooloolaba and a second in the inaugural Sydney Mackay Yacht Race in 2006. In last year's Rolex Sydney Hobart, SWD placed second in PHS Division 1. 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 largely disabled crew won PHS Division A of the storm battered 1998 Sydney Hobart. SWD also holds the monohull circumnavigation of Australia record.
