Neville Crichton’s New Zealand supermaxi Alfa Romeo has taken line honours in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, crossing the finish line opposite Castray Esplanade on the Derwent River at 22:02:10hrs  for an elapsed time of 2 days, 9 hours, 2 minutes and 10 seconds.

Summit 35 Act One’s Winning Debut

Summit 35 01 ‘Act One’ owned by Charlie Milligan and Tom Roche won her debut event, the 53rd annual Wirth Munroe Yacht Race by six minutes on corrected time.  Act One’s class featured a strong IRC entry, including two TP52’s and a Cookson 50, as well as the new Wally 82 Highland Fling XI in the popular Ft. Lauderdale to Palm Beach coastal classic, run by the Sailfish Club in memory of Florida yacht designer Wirth Munroe.

Milligan and Roche, previously partners in the very successful Summit 40 of the same name, bought the first Summit 35 as soon as they saw it, and have been looking forward to their first competitive outing.  Their feedback from this first event is that the Summit 35 is at least as strong downwind and in in light conditions as her bigger sister, which bodes well for the design.
