Wasabi

Wasabi

 


Wasabi was designed and built by Jon Sayer for the Melbourne to Osaka short-handed race for the previous Mooloolaba based owner.  Current owner Bruce McKay purchased Wasabi in June 2008 and has competed in a number of east coast races including two Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Races, the 2009 Pittwater to Coffs Harbour and Gosford to Lord Howe Island Yacht Races as well as the 2008, 2009 and 2010 summer offshore series at her home club, the Cronulla Sailing Club. Wasabi has also successfully campaigned two seasons with the SSAA (Short Handed Sailing Association of Australia).

As always, the Wasabi crew will be hoping for an off the breeze race to take advantage of her light weight and high downwind speeds.
