Pretty Fly II

Pretty Fly II

 

After a good season that included winning the Sydney Newcastle Race, this well campaigned Beneteau 47.7 had the misfortune to be forced to retire from her maiden Rolex Sydney Race last year because of HF radio failure.  This year, Colin and Gladys Woods again took their boat north to Hamilton Island, finishing a 6th overall in the strongly contested Premier Cruising Division.  Back in Sydney, Pretty Fly II has finished 2nd in IRC and 1st in PHS in the Blue Water Pointscore race to Bird Island.
