Alfa Romeo

Alfa Romeo

 

This 90-foot super maxi ( Shockwave) made her debut at Hamilton Island this year where she blitzed the fleet, taking line honours all races and placing 1st on handicap in two races. Given her size, technology and the experience of the crew, including America’s Cup helmsman and sailmaker Michael Coxon, Shockwave is odds on favourite for line honours.
