The well known duo of Graeme Ainley and John Williams have finally farewelled their former veteran of this bluewater classic, Bacardi, which finished second overall last year, and are now racing a NZ built Farr 53. Georgia, a custom built development of the exciting Farr 52 one designs, impressed early with a line and handicap win in New Zealand's premier annual offshore race, the 120 mile Auckland to Russell Coastal Classic, soon after her launch in 2000.
John Williams is lining up for his 25th Rolex Sydney Hobart this year.
