Espresso Forte

Espresso Forte

 

Espresso Forte, owned by Laurence Freedman, is hoping to continue to be a ‘premier’ cruiser racer to Gold Coast, following on from its IRC premier cruising win in Hamilton Island 2007 having beaten the highly fancied Sydney 49 Carerra and all the Beneteau's.  The crew anticipate that she will be highly competitive against some of the pure racers.
