The former Innovation Kvaerner Volvo 60 training boat, now called Aspen 1, has a new Queensland owner who has made some radical modifications to the boat including installing a 2m fixed bow sprit and ‘sugar scoop’ off the stern. 18-foot skiff sailor Mathew Pearce, along with Gail Harland and Andy Prior from the 2003 and 2000 Overall Rolex Sydney Hobart winning boats will bring valuable experience to the crew.
