PHIL MAIDMENT has decided that it would be more interesting to compete in the CLIPPER ROUND THE WORLD YACHT RACE rather then come to the Hunter XMAS Bash - I wonder what has got into the fellow?

Phil will be part of the Cork Racing Yacht Crew and you can check out who he is sailing with HERE. Good Luck Phil !

Newsflash - 3 December 2009:

Further back, both Cork (PHIL's Boat) and Hull & Humber are enjoying being back in the race.

"We've had a great night sail and when the clouds left us from time to time it left a full moon with a clear night and a fully visible Southern Cross," says Cork's skipper, Richie Fearon. "The spinnaker has been up since yesterday evening and with the wind increasing we should also get some good surfing waves. The crew is happy to be going fast again and we are looking forward to more of the same to follow - there are eight boats still ahead of us to catch."

You can track/follow Phil's progress from the main website
