    BMW Sydney, Rushcutters Bay. The legs you see in this picture be ong to John. His job is to make sure when you drive away after a service at BMW Sydney, your car looks as good as the day you drove it off the showroom floor. And we can honestly say, when it comes to detail, no one is as driven as John. Of course, he's not alone. He's only one of five staff dedicated to this sole task. And obviously, we do mean dedicated. It's quite selfish really, but we've always believed that if you look good, so do we. From the way we service your car to the way we serve you a coffee while you wait, it's what makes BMW Sydney a world of BMW.

This year Prescott’s son Lachlan can join the crew. He just missed the cut last year, turning 18 in January – a month too late. The Tasmanian is on his 29th Hobart, and before buying this Farr 40, last raced to Hobart on Shogun in 2012. This boat is Martin and Lisa Hill’s ex ‘Estate Master’, which he purchased in 2018, stiffening it up for offshore and IRC racing. Prescott renamed the boat ‘2 Unlimited’, in deference to his successful Melges 32 and SB20 one-design boats of the same name.
