Quetzalcoatl

Quetzalcoatl

 

The well-performed former Tasmanian yacht Quetzalcoatl, a 40-footer designed by Don Jones, was built in Hobart by its original owner, Tasmanian fine furniture maker Josh Ey, with the hull of King Billy pine.  She has scored two wins in the West Coaster Melbourne to Hobart Race, one on line honours and one on handicap in 2005.

New owners are a syndicate of four including Antony Sweetapple, the son of well known yachtsman Bill Sweetapple who raced the Farr 37 Pippin for many years with the CYCA.
