SYDNEY TO HOBART WINNER TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO NSW ETCHELLS

He’s won just about every major yacht race in Australia, but Sydney to Hobart line honours skipper Mark Richards, has stepped out of a super maxi, and into an Etchell, for the New South Wales titles.

“It’s a great leveller instead of the boats it’s the team and the skill of the sailors on board and with 35 boats on the water it’s going to be a real test.”

The official weigh in took place this afternoon, with racing off the coast of Newcastle to begin tomorrow.

  1. Hi,
    I hope you are going to get some footage of the Etchells racing offshore today.
    You can see them from Newcastle beach and they look amazing.
