Profile

Owner Alex Whitworth sailed his first Hobart race in 1977 and then virtually retired from ocean racing. However, after joining the 371-strong fleet in 1994 for the 50th anniversary race, he once again became addicted and hasn’t missed a Sydney Hobart since. In the gruelling 1998 Race, Berrimilla placed 1st in PHS Division B.
