GBP Yeah Baby

Yeah Baby last sailed to Hobart in 2015, placing 36^th overall and fifth in Division 2, with a predominantly Russian crew. Back in the Ryckmans’ hands, she finished 24^th overall in the 2017 Sydney Gold Coast race. Twin brothers Louis and Marc Ryckmans bought the former Audi Sunshine Coast and renamed it PMA Yeah Baby – this time there is a GBP at the front. Previous owner, Rod Jones, won IRC Division 1 in the 2013 Sydney Gold Coast race and retired shortly after  the start of the 2013 Sydney Hobart with rig damage. The Ryckmans consequently raced her to 34^th overall and fourth in Division 1 in the 2014 Hobart. Aboard this time is past Laser Olympic campaigner, James Burman and Emma May, who switches bows for her fourth Rolex Sydney Hobart.
