Rolex Sydney Hobart trophies awarded

Mid-evening on New Year’s Eve saw the diminutive form of David Kent’s Gillawa finally cross the finish line, the last arrival in the 2006 Rolex Sydney Hobart race. Despite this being the third year in a row that Kent’s 32ft Cavalier 975 has taken the wooden spoon (for last boat in) in the annual Boxing Day run south, this year her crew achieved their ambition of reaching Hobart in time for the traditional fireworks display heralding in the New Year.
