The Adventure
The boat is Clockwork, a Sydney 38, one of Australia’s most respected international yachting designs, and we are the only South Australian yacht in this year’s Rolex Sydney to Hobart race.
So far Clockwork has raised:
Orange Sky Australia is the world’s first free mobile laundry service for people experiencing homelessness – an idea founded in a Brisbane garage by two 20-year-old mates, Nic Marchesi and Lucas Patchett.
In late 2014, the boys installed a couple of washing machines and dryers in the back of their old van and visited parks around Brisbane to wash and dry clothes for free. What started as an idea to improve hygiene standards and restore dignity to people doing it tough has evolved into something much bigger and more powerful.
