The Yachts

Ex-Tension

 

Third member of the Irish Southern Cross team, this yacht will be co-steered by Irishman Joe English, who has competed in many international events including the Admirals Cup, Sydney to Hobart races and the Whitbread Round the World race. She won the 1986 Sydney to Hobart on corrected time and recently broke her mast while leading on corrected time in the Gosford to Lord Howe Island Race. Definitely a boat to watch.
