CYCA Vice Commodore Roger Hickman has entered his Farr 43 Wild Oats, the 1985 Admiral’s Cup trialist, two-time CYCA Bluewater Champion and winner of the Tattersalls Trophy in the galeswept 1993 Sydney Hobart Race.
The last yacht to win the Tattersalls Trophy under the old IOR handicap system, Wild Oats has been reconfigured to compete under the IRC rule.
Because of other plans, Roger Hickman’s long time friend Howard Piggott will skipper Wild Oats to Hobart with his very capable crew.
