NRMA Insurance

 

David Pescud knows this stretch of water intimately having raced north to Southport and beyond many times. The history of Sailors with disABILITIES and the Gold Coast Race are entwined with the crew of the boat called Aspect Computing sailing into the record books in the 1994 race for being the first disabled sailing team in the world to complete an ocean race.

The Sydney Gold Coast Race signals the Sailors with disABILITIES’ most intensive program with hundreds of special needs school children introduced to sailing as NRMA Insurance makes its way back from Hamilton Island.
