Profile

Best remembered as the man who was lost overboard and then miraculously plucked from the ocean 5 hours later by Atara during the '93 Sydney Hobart race, John Quinn is back yet again. This will be Polaris's 13th Hobart race, but only the seconnd under skipper Quinn. She enjoyed a perfect trip in '95 with the 1st place in Division E and with John heading a very experienced crew she should be right up there again.
