Form Guide for Audi Victoria Week SB3 Sailors Part 2
With a few sailors still to enter, the second part of the form guide is likely to have a few sailors with more than a few surprises up their sleeves. We are unwilling to provide odds for the following boats, as we just don't know enough about their form:
Black Rat - Skipper Troy Forrest
Boys from the Bush - Skipper Simon Walsh
Jetster 3 - Skipper David Bull
Wysiwyg-v - Skipper Stephen Fries
We are however prepared to provide a brief overview on the following:
Dart Vader
Skipper: Mark Prince Odds: 6-1
Dart Vader is a regular on the circuit and can be extremely quick at times. They had a habit of inconsistency in 2009 and if the crew can keep the results consistent they are sure to be in the mix.
A-Play
Skipper: Dean Joel Odds: 7-1
A-Play has sailed in several interstate events and has shown signs of great boat speed for periods. This will be the first time the crew have sailed at Geelong and it will be interesting to see what improvements have been made during winter.
Oceanburo Girls
Skipper: Erin Foster Odds: 7-1
A new all girls team to the SB3, Oceanburo Girls are a newly formed team based in Sandringham. The girls in the team range in ages and sailing experiences, from dinghies to keelboats at various levels and sailing the SB3 is a new and steep learning curve for them, or so they say! Word on the street is they have been training hard and the odds might well be wrong. If this is true, this team could upset a few of the more established teams!
SOOC
Skipper: Mark Wolfenden Odds: 8-1
Another Sandringham based sailor new to the class. The crew of SOOC (Still Out of Control) are new to the class after sailing together many years ago on a boat called Out of Control, an eminently accurate description. True to form it seems some things never change, but they are hoping for a good showing at the States.
