Last Tango

Last Tango last raced to Hobart in 2011 and finished eighth in IRC Division 3.She was specifically design as a heavy weather working boat, originally based on AD Boats’ Salona 45 series, and was modified to gain greater upwind performance. Her ideal conditions are 15-25 knots on the nose – and with a bit of luck, she might get that this year.

Since arriving in Australia in November 2010, just prior to the Rolex Sydney Hobart, from which she retired with steering problems, Last Tango has scored mixed results, including eighth in IRC Division 3 in the 2012 Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and 10^th in IRC Division 2 the previous year. 

Last Tango will be navigated by Wendy Tuck, one of the increasing number of women offshore navigators. Tuck, an avid yachtswoman, is a sailing instructor who holds Master 5, Med 3, RYA Yachtmaster and RYA Cruising Instructor qualifications.
