<P>Sydney Yachts Director Iain Murray steered the Sydney Custom Yacht Bumblebee 5 to victory in the 2001 Sydney to Hobart race, the second time Sydney Yachts has won this event in recent years. ‘The Southern Ocean is our proving ground and we’ve learnt what is needed to produce fast, well found yachts. In the tough 2001 race, superior construction played a large part in our overall victory. We knew that we’d built a very strong boat and we could push her very hard. We use these same construction techniques and principles in all our Custom Yachts and our Production Yachts.’</P></TD>

<P>As Sydney Yachts Director Darren Williams says, 'We are very proud of this magnificent yacht. The proven ocean performance and the construction quality and care we build into all Sydney Yachts is being recognised worldwide. Our facilities and capabilities have allowed us to move into the luxury performance cruising market.'</P>

<P><BR>The design has a generous sail area to displacement ratio with the self-tacking furling jib, a full battened mainsail with a hydraulic furling carbon boom and furling jib. A gennaker with snuffer extends the ease of shorthanded cruising. The joystick controlled retracting bowthruster and electric windlass makes docking and anchoring effortless. </P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR>

<P>Fitted with an efficient fin and bulb keel and a lightweight carbon mast, boom and spinnaker pole supplied by Carbontech Spars in Nowra, the yacht has already shown impressive speed in recent sea trials, both fully crewed and short handed. </P>

<P>Our volume and diversity mean we enjoy strong support from a full range of suppliers including SP, ATL, Hi Modulus and FGI.</P>
<P>We have a fully equipped woodworking shop and our metalwork shop produces all our own stainless and alloy special components. With the highly regarded Carbon Tech adjoining us, components like rigs, booms and rudders all come from the one location. </P>
<P>Williams continues, ‘Our production volumes are delivering considerable benefits in the Sydney Yachts Custom Boat division. We have superior resources, technical depth, unmatched supplier support, ranges of production methods and purchasing power. This combination is allowing us to provide value and quality.<BR></P></TD>

<P> Most of the bigger boat builders in Australia and New Zealand have single teams of around 20, while we have a much larger operation, often running three or even four such teams at the same time. <BR><BR>Volume does mean scale and world class designs deserve world class building facilities. The Nowra facility is 500 feet long (160 metres) and it has a 100-foot long (30 metre) oven, which has been designed for modular expansion. <BR><BR>It is the largest and most modern production yacht manufacturing facility in Australia. It is 5,000m sq of purpose built building, with laminating bays, fit-out bays, metal shop, timber shop, keeling pit, carbon mast and componentary facility. Overhead cranes and lifting equipment on both the floor and in the climate control room, provide maximum efficiency. The spray booths are fully integrated with dust and fume exhaustion systems. The climate control room has a holding temperature as low as 15 degrees or as high as 110 degrees.'</P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR>
