Quetzalcoatl

 

Beautifully built of King Billy pine, this well performed former Tasmanian boat is improving with every outing. Under her Sydney owners Antony Sweetapple, Anthony Bruce and James Lee Warner, Quetzalcoatl will undertake her fourth Hobart. 2011 has been a successful year for the boat winning the PHS Division Gosford Lord Howe Island Yacht Race (and finishing third on line), winning the PHS Division of the Audi Sydney Offshore Newcastle Yacht Race, and placing third in her division in the Audi Winter Series. In 2009, Quetzalcoatl won the PHS Division of race one of the Ocean Pointscore race and placed second in PHS Division of the Cabbage Tree Island race. Skipper Sweetapple, long standing navigator Dave Jordan and regular crew are confident of a fast and fabulous trip down south!
