David Gotze’s Lyons Cawse 60 Triton placed second on both PHS and IRC. The CYCA member, who frequently races his Reichel Pugh 63 No Limit in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, was nail bitingly close to victory in both divisions. The yacht finished one-point behind the winner, Paul Blakeley’s MBD 62 Bumblebee V, on IRC, and again, one-point behind Julian Bell’s Beneteau First 50 51^st Project on IRC.
