Well-raced Kiwi Gayle Melrose is bringing Outward Bound (renamed as Qantas NZ for the race) to enter its first Hobart. This is a well seasoned yacht having completed in the '82 Whitbread race winning Division C, then back to New Zealand after completing the race. She was then used for charter work in the islands for five years and recently returned from a Pacific cruise. Melrose did last year's Hobart with the women on Telecom MobileNet.
Gayle had an all female crew onboard
