Kaz
This powerful 52-footer has contested every east coast regatta and offshore race since being launched, recently placing 4th in her division of the 2005 Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race. With their previous boat, Pescud and his crew won PHS Division A of the storm-battered 1998 Hobart Race.
KAZ also holds the record for a circumnavigation of Australia and the boat has taken hundreds of disabled school children sailing during the return leg from Hamilton Island each year.
