Guess the finishing time to win a bottle of Grange!
Paul Pincus (Orthopaedic Outreach Board Member) is raising Outreach’s public profile by branding his boat. Paul has stacked his team with expert sailors from the AOA, John Tuffley and Bill Donnelly. All are Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race virgins.
Paul’s yacht “Solace” is a Beneteau First 44.7, 13.66 meters in length. They hope to finish in roughly four days, but being a Hobart race, who knows?
The Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race is an annual race hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia starting in Sydney 26th December and finishing in Hobart. The race distance is 628 nautical miles and is considered to be one of the most difficult races in the world, first held in 1945.
Can you guess how long it will take this outstanding team to cross the line in Hobart?
In the event “Solace” has to withdraw during the race, the time of withdrawal will substitute as the finishing time.
You can follow Solace’s progress during the race on the tracking section of: https://www.rolexsydneyhobart.com/tracker
The closest guess wins a 1997 Vintage Penfolds Grange valued at $1000. Each entry has a fee of $20 which is non-tax deductible, any donations will be tax deductible. You can enter as many times as you like and entries close on 20th December 2024.
