Last Tango

Last Tango

 

Last Tango was partying elsewhere and missed last year’s Land Rover Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, but competed in the 2014 race, but retired with minor rig damage. She fared better in the 2013 race with eighth in IRC Division 3 and Phillip King will be praying for fresh breeze to improve their position this time around. As part and parcel of their preparation for the 384 nautical mile race to the Gold Coast, King raced her in Division B of the Land Rover Winter Series and finished fourth overall. A win and a second during that series have King revved up and ready for the forthcoming race, as does a new main from Hoods. Since arriving in Australia in November 2010, Last Tango has scored mixed results in her various regattas and races, but no matter what, the upbeat Phil King finds reasons to celebrate.
