Andrew Cochrane's Stewart 34 has been the bridesmaid in its division numerous times in this event and is this year pulling out all stops for a divisional win, including new sails, new boom and stringent weight restrictions for the crew (no full size toothbrushes allowed).  Olympic gold medallist Tom King, international Farr 40 and Mumm sailor Chris Cook and crewman Luke Ratcliff from the 2003 Rolex Sydney Hobart Overall winner First National will join the crew.
