Great Xpectations

Great Xpectations

 

Owned by Rod Wills, a 20 year member of the CYCA, this X43 was the first to arrive in Australia and it lived up to its name early with a 3rd on IRC in the 2004 Pittwater to Coffs Harbour Race, 3rd in the Coffs Series and 3rd in the CYCA’s Autumn Offshore Pointscore Series.  Great Xpectations is primarily an ocean racer but still enjoys some ‘round the cans’ events. Most of the original crew from 2003 is still with the boat.
