Disko Trooper_Contender Sailcloth
Jules Hall will bring back his very competitive J99 for this year’s race as a fully crewed entrant. Purchased prior to the 2021 Rolex Sydney Hobart, Jules Hall, along with crewmember Jan Scholten, won the inaugural two-handed division. This year, Jules has his eyes firmly set on the Tattersall Cup, partnering with offshore ace Wendy Tuck who will join the program along with three CYCA Youth Sailing Academy sailors. The mixed crew of experience and youth have already showed they will be top contenders, finishing third overall in the Blue Water Pointscore's second longest race – the Tollgate Islands Race in October.
