Alive, owned by Phillip Turner and skippered by Duncan Hine, is the 2023 overall winner on IRC corrected time of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. The Reichel Pugh 66 arrived in Hobart on 28th December at 3:19:04 p.m. to become only the second Tasmanian boat to have their name inscribed on the legendary Tattersall Cup not once, but twice. Preparation, experience and local knowledge proved to be invaluable for the winning crew, as conditions along the 628-nautical mile course pushed the smaller boats in particular to their limit.
