Star Dean-Willcocks

 

After finishing 2nd in the Sydney 38 Division of this year’s Sydney Mooloolaba Race, twins Marc and Louis Ryckmans and skipper Ola Andersen are competing in their third Rolex Sydney Hobart. Last year they were forced to retire in Storm Bay with rig failure after leading the Sydney 38s for most of the race. They hope to better last year’s high speed of 26.8 knots set somewhere in Bass Strait and gain a podium finish.
