Arch Rival

 

Arch Rival is a Don Jones design, launched in 1995. The boat, previously named Rouseabout 3, was re-badged Arch Rival by her second owner and purchased by the current owner in Melbourne before being sailed up to her new home in Sydney in 2013.  2017 was a big year for the crew, having competed in the Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, Blue Water Pointscore Series and the Rolex Sydney Hobart, and was followed by the 2018 and 2019 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race.  Arch Rival is a social boat, fully crewed by a rag tag bunch of amateurs.
