ColorTile

Colortile last raced to Hobart in 2011 but was forced out with rig damage. In 2009, she finished 12^th in division after surviving a protest following a post-start incident on Sydney Harbour. Offshore racing results include seventh in IRC Division 2 in the 2012 Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, after placing eighth in 2011. Her best result in the race though, was third in IRC Division 2 in 2009.

Warren Buchan, Rear Commodore of Cronulla Sailing Club, and wife Kristy, are determined to complete the unfinished business of 2011 with the former Bashful. They are competing in that club’s and the RMYC Port Hacking combined racing schedule in the lead-up.

A sense of humour is one of the crew requirements on this boat where Kristy will once again working the pit, while also making sure the boys are well fed and kept amused. Meanwhile, ‘Bucko’ and crew will hopefully embrace some favourable surfing conditions. They love team work and celebrating after every long race with fellow competitors.
