Pla Loma IV

Pla Loma IV

 

This DK 43 likes a downhill slide according to owner Rob Reynolds, and will be looking to stay with the 50 footers.  Pla Loma IV entered the 2005 Rolex Sydney Hobart but encountered steering problems which forced her out of the race.  Rob and his crew will be aiming for a more satisfying outcome this time around as they contest the 628 nautical mile race to Hobart.
