WOW Nortel

 

Same boat (Nadia IV) but an entirely different crew for Kerry Goudge and Women on Water Syndicate competing in the fifth Sydney to Hobart. Best result was a 6th overall and fourth in division under IOR in the gale force conditions of '93. Last year saw them in 19th overall in division, and this year will see a lot of sponsorship support for a range of women's sailing activities, from coaching to sponsorship of races.
