Trouble & Strife, a Cookson 12, was built in New Zealand and is the sistership to Sail Exchange. Matt Williams’ yacht is based at RQYS where it is crewed by an enthusiastic mix of youth and experience, competing in both inshore and offshore events, including the Brisbane to Gladstone, Brisbane to Keppel and Brisbane to Hamilton Island yacht races, the last proving her best offshore result of first in IRC and ORCI. This will be her first Rolex Sydney Hobart, but with a couple of expat’ Tasmanians on board, she should find her way.
