Ingvall's IRM Maxi Nicorette representing the Royal Swedish Yacht
Club. Perhaps the graphic of Luna Park may have something to do with
that water spout back in 2001? Changes to Nicorette for this year
include the fitting of a canting keel.

The
brand new Super Maxi, Zana for Owner/Skipper Stewart Thwaites of the

Grant
Wharington's 30m Super Maxi, Skandia. Also built this year and representing
the Mornington Yacht Club in Victoria, Skandia features a canting
keel. Skandia's crew are seen dealing with the boat's huge mainsail,
in preparation of the race south. With light to moderate conditions
expected, tactics will be the determining factor of final results
for all competitors.
