Inca is a 1999 Vickers 41 MkII, designed and built in South Africa and after sailing over from South Africa in 2000, Noel Sneddon purchased her as his new floating home at Airlie Beach. Since then she has competed in several Audi Hamilton Island Race Weeks and the 2008 Rolex Sydney Hobart where she finished 10th overall in PHS Division. While not a modern downwind flyer, Inca performs well upwind, especially in a seaway. Her crew of seven are looking forward to a typical Rolex Sydney Hobart southeasterly wind all the way to Hobart.
