Iataia (pronounced ya-tie-ya) is the first Mexican entry to contest Australia’s premier ocean race.  The crew left Acapulco in April for a six month cruise to Sydney for the Rolex Sydney Hobart which, “if you are a sailor is something you have do to once in your lifetime” says skipper Marc Rosenfeld.

The Beneteau 40.7 finished 1st over the line in the San Diego – Puerto Vallarta race and contested the 2005 Transpac.  The owner and crew have no plans once they reach Hobart, so relaxed are they that it could be a matter of seeing where the wind takes them.
