New Custodians and Major Refit
09-03-2026
by David Hamilton, 09-03-2026
David and Theresa Hamilton are now the very proud custodians of AUS29 Antares. Incredibly grateful to Martin Cross for entrusting us with her stewardship.
In recent months, Antares has undergone a significant refit and looks absolutely stunning.
As new members to the class, we are looking forward to more racing against some wonderful 5's here on Pittwater.

No, this is not GPS Navigation. The Seldén GNAV (reverse spelling of vang) has been installed aboard "Antares". Martin Cross reports: "... it works really well, much safer for the crew as a the whole cockpit is now clear. Also good for spinnaker launch and retrieval..."
