Tony Nicholas is taking time off from his position as sailing manager at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania to charter and skipper Quest for the 2005 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Joining him is Rod Jackman who has sailed in 29 Sydney Hobarts while Tony’s 20-year-old son Daniel will be sailing in his first race. Another young Tasmanian, Rod Chamberlain, will be sailed his second.
Quest’s career so far has included a 1st and a 2nd overall in the Rolex Sydney Hobart, a win in the 2003 Australian IRC championship and wins in the Sydney Mooloolaba and Sydney Gold Coast races. Strong chance again.
