DESCRIPTION |
2006-2009 |
Calm had a successful racing career in the USA and Europe prior to being brought to Australia. She won Key west Race week in Miami in her first outing and then had a number of notable results on the Mediterranean circuit and in the UK. |
2015 |
In his debut with M3, Peter Hickson took line and overall honours in the George Law Memorial Foundation Race in big winds. In the subsequent Fremantle Geraldton race, with a torn main, he still managed third overall. M3 shredded her forestay just after the start of the 2015 Sydney Hobart, was offered a spare, but her crew chose to retire. Repaired, Peter Hickson entered her in the Pittwater Coffs and finished unlucky 13th overall, because on the return journey, in dreadful weather, she ran aground, her crew abandoning the boat on the beach near Seal Rocks. |
2016 |
M3 returned, Brent Fowler skippering her to third overall in the 2016 Sydney Gold Coast race. |
2018 |
In the 2018 Rolex Sydney Hobart, M3 was skippered by Aron ‘Roni’ Ormandlaki, the owner of Roni Rigging and Racing, and assisted by his colleague, watch captain Will Parbury. The crew was formed around five keen Hungarian sailors, Gabor, Tamas, Adam, Lajos and Zoltan. |
