RSHYR 2024 | Patrick 'Paddy' Broughton Interview from Love & War

Paddy Broughton has enjoyed plenty of success on the international offshore racing scene with his beautiful ketch Kialao II. And much of that success has been shared with one of Australia’s most experienced navigators, Lindsay May. Lindsay was intending to race aboard Simon Kurts’ Love and War in the 2024 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, but found that he was not going to recover from some recent skin graft surgery in time to take part. Enter stage left, Paddy Broughton! We spoke to Paddy at the CYCA about this late call-up and his daily discussions with Lindsay to draw on as much of Lindsay’s encyclopaedic knowledge of this race’s weather and current as he can.
