AAPT

 

AAPT finished third over the line in last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart against the two supermaxis and second the year before.  Sean is hoping that some minor tweaking and the lighter crew weight, plus plenty of downwind sailing, will result in a top five finish.

The crew includes Olympic 49er class sailors Gary Boyd and Chris Nicholson who is also a former 18-foot skiff, 49er world champion and Volvo Ocean Race sailor.
