INSX
Robert Sill and INSX last headed to Hobart in 2008 under the name Dormit INSX and finished 31st overall and fifth in Division 4. Sill may not have sailed the 628 nautical mile course for four years, but he has contested 15 Hobart races, so the experience is well and truly there. Some of the same crew will sail with the Sandringham Yacht Club member again, including his two sons, Julian and Marcus Sill. The boat's name is a play on her design, a NSX38 by Australian Scott Jutson. Sill and his crew were planning on putting in a couple of ocean races prior to arriving in Sydney for the big day.
