In a star studded fleet the Sydney 36CR surprised all competitors when it came off the line amongst some of the hottest 40 footers in the fleet. Proving to be a headache for these yacht and their tacticians, both the Farr 40 and the new 40’ Reichel Pugh Chutzpah ended up having to duck the Sydney 36CR after a mile up the first beat.  </P> <P>The Sydney 36CR spent the next 4 days outsailing these hot IRC optimised boats on rated time finishing an impressive 2nd place on IRC from Limit, who had Gavin Brady on board calling tactics. This was a great result for Alan Brierty who also owns a Sydney 38 by the same name. With this new Sydney 36CR only a week old there is no doubt there will be lot more to get out of this boat.  (<A class="" href="http://www.sail-world.com/news_std.cfm?Nid=39892&SRCID=7&RequestTimeOut=180" target=_blank>More</A>)<BR><BR><BR></P></TD></TR> <TR> <TD vAlign=center height=30><STRONG>NEW 47CR TO DEBUT ON AUSTRALIA DAY</STRONG> </TD></TR> <TR> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica" bgColor=silver height=1><IMG alt="" src="http://www.sail-world.com/images/1px_clear.gif" border=0></TD></TR> <TR> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica" height=24></TD></TR> <TR> <TD> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=505 border=0> <TR> <TD width=250><IMG alt="" src="http://www.sydneyyachts.com.au/editimages//sy_DSC00114.jpg" border=0></TD> <TD></TD> <TD width=250><IMG alt="" src="http://www.sydneyyachts.com.au/editimages//sy_P1010304.jpg" border=0></TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR> <TR> <TD style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica"><BR>Is there anything more fitting than selecting an Aussie boat manufacturer to build your new yacht, spending 12 months watching over the local construction of your dream and then having the first race on your new pride and joy on Australia Day?  This is certainly Noel Cornish’s coming plan as his stunning new Sydney 47CR looks forward to its first proper hit out since its launch.
