Mahligai

Mahligai

 

Murray and Jenny will be taking their yacht Mahligai to Hobart for the 11th time in the 75th anniversary race this year.  A number of crew are back from previous Hobarts with Mahligai.  History shows some good success in PHS, with 2 previous divisional wins.  The Kiwi owners live in Sydney and race out of the CYCA, but are representing Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club in a nod to their heritage.  This Sydney 46 has finished all 11 of her Sydney Hobarts - a great track record.  The racing campaign is supported by Super Charge Batteries.  The Mahligai crew are raising money for a number of charities as part of the 75th race: Conquer Cystic Fibrosis, Zero to Hero for suicide prevention and The Blackdog Institute.
