Takani
Jim Whittle’s Takani is named after their three children Taylah, Kasey and Nicholas. Takani has recently enjoyed participating in Hamilton Island Race Week where she finished well up in her division. Several of the crew who have signed up for this year’s Rolex Sydney to Hobart were aboard to share in this great experience. Taylah their 19-year-old daughter will be on board, along with two more experienced sailors who have signed up for the race. They are all looking forward to participating in this year’s event. Jim will also celebrate his 50th Birthday on Boxing Day. Here’s hoping the cake survives the start line!
