Knee Deep
A Beneteau 40.7 owned by Chris Hogan from Perth and named Liesl has been chartered for this race, the Bird Island, Cabbage Tree and Rolex Sydney Hobart for 2006 by Philip Childs, a Perth surgeon who skippered his own boat Courtesan to win Div D in the 2004 Rolex Sydney Hobart. Most of the crew from that race will return for these races. The boat is named after Philip’s Margaret River Vineyard and Winery – Knee Deep Wines.
