Icefire

Icefire

 

Icefire returned to racing in 18 months ago after a six year absence under new owners, Peter Tucker, Alan ‘Big Al’ Mather, Thyge Trafford-Jones and Malcolm Griffiths.  A downwind flyer Icefire has been a very competitive boat since her launch in 1988 and has many podium finishes in her race history log. Icefire thrives in heavy weather downwind conditions and Mather is hoping for similar conditions to last year’s Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race. He knows that while the yacht was up there with the best when she was launched, Icefire is now over 20 and does not rate well against some of the newer boats.
