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 fifth Hobart – returning after a two year break especially for the 70th Anniversary. In her last major offshore racing season for the boat won the PHS Division of the 2011 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.
