Quetzalcoatl

 

Quetzalcoatl has been missing from the race, last appearing in 2019, she placed fifth in PHS overall for third in PHS Division 2 for Anto Sweetapple, Anthony Bruce and James Lee-Warner. However, the Jones 40 is well-known to the race and placed PHS ninth in 2018 after second overall in PHS for second in Division 2 in 2016. She was second in PHS and third in the Corinthian division in 2014 and won PHS in 2011 – a special year with PHS victories also in the Sydney Newcastle and Gosford Lord Howe Island races. This Australian designed Jones 40 is distinctive because of her name and bright yellow décor. Beautifully built of King Billy pine, she and her owners continue to deliver.
