Disko Trooper_Contender Sailcloth (DH)

 

Jules Hall’s Disko Trooper_Contender Sailcloth returns to the racetrack for the third time, having competed fully crewed in 2023 and Double Handed in 2021. Hall, along with co-skipper Jan ‘Clogs’ Scholten, made history by winning the inaugural Sydney Hobart Double Handed division in 2021 and were second Double Handed crew to finish. In 2023, Hall partnered with offshore ace Wendy Tuck and four CYCA Youth Sailing Academy sailors and alumni and placed 22nd overall.

For this year’s race, Hall has reunited with Contender Sailcloth’s Jan Scholten, once again competing in the Double Handed division and taking on the best in the fleet. This year, Disko Trooper_Contender Sailcloth won the Double Handed division in the Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore’s Flinders Islet Race after finishing seventh overall and was second DH in the subsequent Bird Island Race.
