Great Xpectations

 

Great Xpectations was the first X43 to arrive in Sydney in 2003. Owner by CYCA member Rod Wills, the boat has competed in many IRC offshore events including the Sydney Gold Coast, Pittwater – Coffs Harbour, finishing third overall on IRC and third in division in the 2003 and 2004 races, and Gosford to Lord Howe Island Races, finishing second on IRC in 2005. Other racing includes the Ocean Pointscore Series and RSYS Winter Series and when not racing north, Rod is quite happy to cruise to the Whitsundays.
