The competition at the Pallas Capital Gold Cup has intensified, with the return of reigning champion Matador after an uncertain campaign.
Matador is back, and challengers are enhancing their strategies, making this season’s battle for the Pallas Capital Gold Cup one of the most competitive yet. Zen and First Light are anticipated to lead the charge.
Matador owner David Doherty stated, “We’ve got much the same team returning this season. We’ve just had the boat out of the water for maintenance and gone through everything. We’ve made a few changes to the rig which will hopefully give us some performance gains.”
Doherty also mentioned that the return to the series was unexpected, saying, “I came back because I couldn’t sell the boat, but I’m looking forward to some good fair racing.”
The fleet this season features strong competitors, with Zen returning to Australian waters after an international campaign, and First Light continuing to build on a series of impressive results.
Racing kicks off with Act 1 on 21–22 March at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, as the TP52 and Super 40 fleets compete on Sydney Harbour. The opening regatta is expected to lay the groundwork for this year’s highly competitive Pallas Capital Gold Cup series.
