Profile

Craig Escott is back again with his well named Tasmanian 34 footer Solandra, looking for a result more like that he achieved with the original Solandra owned by his father; 2nd overall and 1st Southern Cross Cup yacht in the Hobart race on corrected time. Craig, now 28 also won the 1982 Melbourne Hobart Race with the original Solandra, and in the 1985 race with the current Solandra.
