Tow Truck
An extensive international search to find a replacement for Anthony Paterson’s famous Mumm 30 Tow Truck was completed with the discovery of this Jason Ker-designed 11.3m racing yacht on the island of Jersey. The Ker 11.3 is a semi popular one-design class from the design board of successful Spanish-based British designer Jason Ker. The ‘new’ Tow Truck was shipped in a car transport ship from Southampton and the crew have spent many hours putting the boat together on Lake Macquarie. The Tow Truck team had not sailed together since the old boat was sold two years ago, prior to the 2008 Rolex Sydney Hobart, but the boys were keen to hoist the sails and head south – coming up with a win in IRC Division 3. In March, she finished second in IRC Division 2 of the Audi Sydney Offshore Newcastle Yacht Race.
