Captain Steve Clark and Tina Connell-Clark (Teen to everyone who sails with her, and Admiral to Steve) sailed Audacious Duo from La Rochelle, France to Brisbane. Along the way they survived an orca attack, crossed the equator (earning their Shellback stripes), sailed the ARC 2023 trans-Atlantic rally, earning the Caprys Award for Overcoming Adversity, and swam with whales in Tonga and manta rays in Fiji.
Where the Elba 45 was designed and built in 2023, and the voyage began.
The Bay of Biscay, the coasts of Spain and Portugal, Las Palmas, then on to St Lucia and the British Virgin Islands.
Down to Aruba and the Panama Canal, into the Pacific, crossing the equator to become Shellbacks.
The Galapagos, Marquesas and Tuamotus, the Society Islands of Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora and Raiatea, then the Cook Islands, Niue, Tonga and Fiji.
Finally home, to Moreton Bay, where she sails today.
Captain Steve Clark and Tina Connell-Clark are the two people who know Audacious Duo best. They crossed oceans to bring her home, and now they welcome you aboard for every charter, together.
