Wedgetail
Bill Wild’s Wedgetail made its debut in last year’s Southport to Mackay Race finishing an impressive 2nd on corrected time. This was followed up with a 6th overall and 2nd in division in the boat’s first Rolex Sydney Hobart last December.
The Welbourn 42 was built specifically to contest the long ocean races and so far, has shown impressive form. While owner Wild can’t be on the boat for its maiden Sydney Gold Coast Race, his top crew, including Peter Elkington and Vanessa Dudley should do him proud. One of four Queensland entries, the most from that state in many years.
