Wild Joe

 

Steven David’s 2006 and 2007 Sydney Gold Coast IRC overall winner, a Reichel/Pugh 60 formerly owned by Bob Oatley, will carry a star studded crew north including skipper Adam Beashel who was the strategist aboard America’s Cup challenger Emirates Team New Zealand which lost to the Swiss defender, Alinghi.  As well as her Gold Coast overall win, Wild Joe has enjoyed many successes over the years including a division win at Hamilton Island Race Week 2006, an overall win in the 2006 Coffs Harbour Series and a divisional win in the CYCA’s 2007 Audi Winter Series.

Wild Joe is out to try to achieve a historic third successive win overall in this race.
