J Steel (Yeah Baby)

 

This will be Yeah Baby’s fourth successive Hobart campaign under the current owners and crew. After nearly winning the 38OD Division in 2005 and placing 2nd and 3rd in the following years, the crew will be pushing hard for a divisional win – hopefully with their keel still attached to their boat! The owners are looking for some silverware and the opportunity to recoup their losses from the bookmakers!
