Daniel Edwards will be hoping third times a charm for this year’s Hobart after having to retire from the past two editions.  The M.A.T 1245 will be a top contender for its division having shown its strength by winning Division 2 in the 2022 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and placed second in Div 2 of the Flinders Islet Race.  Edwards has also been crowned the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria’s Offshore Champion for 2016/17.
