James Murchison and crew are back to defend their PHS overall win from last year’s Gold Coast race and are building a blue water campaign that will culminate in the 70^th edition of the Rolex Sydney Hobart.

Previous results include eighth in PHS division of the 2012 CYCA’s Cabbage Tree Island Race and fifth in division in the Rolex Sydney Hobart that year. She did not compete in last year’s Hobart. Murchison has competed in several Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Races, eight Rolex Sydney Hobarts, a Melbourne to Osaka, Pittwater to Coffs Harbour and Sydney Mooloolaba races.
