Gweilo

 

After one season on the Australian racing scene, Gweilo commenced its new offshore yachting season with a 4th in IRC and 6th in ORCi of the 2019 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race.  Originally called Container, the 2011 Judel/Vrolijk design is the sistership to the original RAN with some top place finishes at Med Cup regattas.  Owners Chris Townsend and Matt Donald have called the boat Gweilo, which is slang Cantonese for 'white man' or 'ghost man', and they have the ghost livery to match.
