Quetzalcoatl

Quetzalcoatl

 

Beautifully built of King Billy pine, this well performed former Tasmanian boat made her Rolex Sydney Hobart debut last year under new Sydney owner Antony Sweetapple, but finished second last overall in the IRC category. This year she is sailing in the PHS cateogory.  When owned in Hobart, Quetzalcoatl won the 2005 Melbourne Hobart Race on corrected time and took line honours in the 2006 race.
