Newly built, Wild Side is the latest step for the partnership of Martin Vaughan and Eddie Ragauskas following their success in winning the 2006 Melbourne to Hobart Yacht Race.

Eddie and Martin have been racing together for a number of years with numerous Bass Strait crossings.  They hope to be competitive among the smaller boats with their Sydney 36CR in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race and they did well in the recent Melbourne to Stanley race, placing 2nd in IRC to Chutzpah in IRC and winning PHS.
