'Sun Fast Racing', sailed by Lee Condell, director of Performance Boating Sales, Jeanneau's sailboat regional dealer in New South Wales Australia, and co-skippered by Lincoln Dews said that their boat "performed above expectations" in the Sydney to Hobart, as a lot of time went into optimising the IRC rating and the performance in light upwind sailing by fitting a mast-head J0 and VMG running by adding a S2 spinnaker.
'Sun Fast Racing' was sold on arrival in Hobart, and will be relocated to its new home at Sandringham Yacht Club in Melbourne early January by the new owner.
With 12 Sun Fast 3300's racing in Australia now, there will be many more podium results to come, especially in races like 2023 Melbourne to Geelong Passage Race in January, 2023 Brisbane to Gladstone in April and the 2023 Brisbane to Hamilton Island Race in August.
