Skipper Jason Van Zetten is a relatively young (32) but experienced Tasmanian sailor with 30 Bass Strait crossings to his name having competed in the Melbourne-Hobart and Melbourne-Stanley races many times.

He has enjoyed local success in the Three Peaks Race and is looking forward to the challenges offered by extended racing in the Roaring 40s. 

"The uglier the weather, the better we will perform relative to other boats," says crewman Mark Koppelmann.
