Nicorette

 

This sophisticated 80-foot water-ballasted maxi blew her line honours opposition away in the 2000 Sydney Hobart Race and finished second across the line last year behind the Volvo 60 Assa Abloy. Ludde Ingvall, a former world maxi champion and two-time Fastnet winner, has spent this year competing overseas but will assemble a winning local and international crew for this Australian bluewater classic.
