Welcome to the Aberdeen Asset Management 2013/14 Farr 40 Australian Series

Farr 40 Australia and Aberdeen Asset Management welcome all competitors and spectators to the Aberdeen Asset Management Farr 40 One Design Trophy being sailed on Sydney Harbour. Farr 40 sailing is a contest between evenly matched 40-foot racing boats, helmed by their skilled and competitive amateur owners and guided by world-renowned tacticians. The Farr 40 Class complies with strict One Design rules meaning the boat has been built to a specific design and all competing boats in the class are not permitted to make amendments to the design. Any competitive advantage must be derived by the skill of the skipper and the crew. Unique to the Farr 40 Class is that the One Design rules are internationally governed and dictate an owner driver rule and impose limitations on number of professional crew members. This year’s One Design Trophy is being held in conjunction with Sydney Short Ocean Racing Championship (SSORC) and will be hosted by the Middle Harbour Yacht Club at Mosman, New South Wales. We look forward to having Aberdeen clients aboard our Farr 40s for the Twilight Race being held on Friday evening and hope that all other spectators enjoy a wonderful weekend of sailing on 30 November and 1 December 2013.

4 The Aberdeen Asset Management 2013/14 Farr 40 Australian Championships About Farr 40

One Design racing in Australia is widely celebrated through successful classes such as Etchells and Dinghy Olympic classes including the Lasers and 470s. The Farr 40 class follows similar principles in racing and complies with specific One Design rules; boats have been built to a specific design and competing boats in the class are not permitted to make amendments to the design. Any competitive advantage must be derived by the skill of the skipper and crew. Unique to the Farr 40 class is that the One Design rules are internationally governed, dictate an owner driver rule and impose limitations on number of professional crew members. The Farr 40 fleet in Australia consists of 27 boats, 20 of which will compete in the 2013/14 Farr 40 Australian Series. Crews in this Class consist of yachting luminaries such as Tom Slingsby, Malcolm Page, Mathew Belcher, Nathan Outteridge & Nina Curtis – all successful competitors in the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Boat Edake Edake has been competing in the Farr 40s since the 2006/07 season purely as a Corinthian boat. At Sail No. 0007 various times they have been at the front of the fleet Fleet NSW but have been unable to put together a consistent set of results during an entire series. However, in the Owner Jeff Carter lead up to the Worlds in 2011 they placed in the top Tactician Evan Walker 10 boats including the top overseas teams. This year Edake will sail in all the NSW events and Bow Don McPhee aspires to achieve a podium position at some stage. The owner Jeff Carter hopes to be able to compete Mast Lachlan Carter in Tasmania in February alongside Sydney based Float 1 Milly Bennett colleagues. Tactician will again be Evan Walker who has just returned from overseas coaching Pit Jaidan Stevens assignments and is certainly an up and coming Trim Tim Lake tactician. This will be Evan’s second year with Jeff and he is responsible for keeping the boat going in Main Noel Holder the right direction and in the right position. Long time mainsail trimmer Noel Holder will again be the backbone of the team and Jeff’s son Lachlan will be on the team again for this regatta. The team is changed somewhat from last year and for this event will comprise of some fresh faces. Jeff Carter
