Balagny, G Sorensen, D Ladiesse, A Furlan </p><p>Over the years several yachts have represented the Cercle Nautique Caledonian in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and Jean Luc Esplaas has returned with his Archambault 40 and experienced crew, <em>41 SUD, </em>for a third attempt to win the race overall. Esplaas’ best result in this race was in 2008 when <em>41 SUD </em>finished 41<sup style="top: -0.42em;">st </sup>overall and seventh in IRC Division 3. However, Esplaas and some of his crew took part in the 1998 race with his former yacht, a Young 35 named <em>Marine Corail Voile</em>. They were one of only 44 finishers and came away with third in Division D. </p><p><em>41 SUD </em>was the only New Caledonian yacht to take part in the Noumea Sail 2012 race, which was hampered by extremely difficult navigational conditions, and finished second on line. </p><p><strong>ARIEL SAIL NO: </strong>A140 <strong>LOA: </strong>12.6m <strong>CLASS: </strong>IRC/ORCi <strong>DESIGNER: </strong>Farr Yacht Design (USA) <strong>YEAR BUILT: </strong>2010 <strong>TYPE: </strong>Beneteau First 40 <strong>NUMBER OF HOBARTS: </strong>1 <strong>OWNER: </strong>Ron Forster </p><p><strong>CLUB: </strong>Cruising Yacht Club of Australia and Sydney Amateur Sailing Club, NSW <strong>CREW: </strong>R Forster (2) – Skipper/Navigator, P Damp (1) – Co-skipper, J Naylor (5) – Second in Charge, H Forster, R Kuijken, A Saunders (1), J Andrews (1), M Scroop (3), R Pickering, A Pickering </p><p>Representing the race organiser, the CYCA, <em>Ariel </em>and some of her crew are still testing the waters, having attained just two seasons of offshore racing. Results include 12<sup style="top: -0.42em;">th </sup>in the CYCA’s 2012/2013 Blue Water Pointscore Series and 10<sup style="top: -0.42em;">th </sup>in the Cape Byron Pointscore Series (ORCi category of the BWPS), inclusive of finishing 28<sup style="top: -0.42em;">th </sup>overall and seventh in IRC Division 3 in last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart. Before that, <em>Ariel </em>contested the Pittwater to Coffs Harbour Race in 2012. </p><p>Ron Forster and crew are preparing for this year’s race to Hobart by competing in the BWPS again. With three races away, Ariel is seventh overall. Her best result so far is a second place to Wild Rose in the Bird Island Race in October, which will give Ron Forster and his crew the impetus going into the 628 nautical mile Hobart in December. Prior to last year, Forester had sailed the Hobart just once before - 32 years ago, but the bug has well and truly bitten and the objective this year is to better his result of last year. </p><p><strong>ART EQUITY MAHLIGAI SAIL NO: </strong>NZL1 <strong>LOA: </strong>14.27m <strong>CLASS: </strong>PHS <strong>DESIGNER: </strong>Murray Burns Dovell (AUS) <strong>YEAR BUILT: </strong>1998 <strong>TYPE: </strong>Sydney 46 <strong>NUMBER OF HOBARTS: </strong>4 </p><p><strong>OWNER: </strong>Murray Owen and Jenny Kings <strong>CLUB: </strong>Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club, NZL <strong>CREW: </strong>M Owen (5) - Skipper, J Kings (4) - Navigator, C Price (2), R Hobbs (1), A Mackay, A Milln, B Dunsheath, S Russell (2), M Browne, B Proffitt, A Fletcher, C Leon </p><p>This Sydney 46 has raced to Hobart four times now and has finished every one.
