Quetzalcoatl

 

Owned by Anthony Bruce, James Lee Warner and Antony Sweetapple, Quetzalcoatl has competed competitively over the past 17 years.  2011 was a particularly good year for her – finishing first in PHS in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. In the 2014 Sydney Hobart Quetzalcoatl achieved 2nd PHS and 3rd Corinthians Divisions, in 2016 2nd PHS and 5th Corinthian. She will once again race in that division, so she could prove the one to beat. Has also had success outside the race south where in 2011 she won the Sydney Newcastle and Lord Howe Island Yacht Race in the PHS division.
