| About Faith... |
Faith is a Taswell 56 ocean-capable sailboat with a rich history of racing and cruising. She was commissioned by owner Geoff Hill from Australia. Originally named Antipodes of Sydney, she sailed around the world and raced under owner Geoff Hill and skipper Glenn Belcher. Faith competed in three Rolex Sydney to Hobart races under the name Antipodes (including the infamous 1998 race). She also took first place overall in the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s first crossing of the Atlantic, following his route through Porto Santo, Madeira, and the Canary Islands to San Salvador and the Bahamas. Antipodes also raced in numerous Caribbean races. The Grangers then purchased the boat in 2002 and renamed her Faith. The Granger family spent over 4 years cruising around the world to sixty-five countries and participated in several Caribbean races and rallies. Gregg Granger then wrote a book, "Sailing Faith: The Long Way Home," about their travels. Gregg and his crew are seasoned sailors and racers, and this will be the first Port Huron to Mackinaw race with SV Faith.
