Chancellor

 

Ted Tooher, who last took Chancellor south in 2021 but retired with sail damage, racks up his 16th Hobart this year. Prior to this boat, Tooher had a Beneteau 47.7 of the same name and before that, he owned this same Beneteau First 40 and raced in the 2010 (37th) and 2011 (60th) Rolex Sydney Hobarts before selling it to Matthew Vadas and Jonathon Stone, who placed 29th in 2012, 27th in 2013, 12th in 2014 and 52nd in 2016. Before Tooher repurchased her, the yacht last raced to Hobart in in 2019 as HYC Breakthrough, sailed by an Irish crew headed by Darren Wright and placed 51st overall. The genial Tooher gives opportunities to local and international sailors that they might not otherwise receive.
