Tow Truck

Tow Truck

 

After the 2005 Rolex Sydney Hobart, most, including the owner Anthony “pato” Paterson thought that they would never step foot on this Mumm 30 again, let alone take it offshore. It seems time has healed the regular team of Lake Macquarie sailors who have all raised their hands in a unanimous display of support for the familiar destination with a new balmy timeslot.

Tow Truck seems to like the sort of conditions common at this time of the year, picking up two Overall wins in the Sydney Mooloolaba Race which was on at this time of year until the sailing calendar was revamped.
