Some of Wild Joe’s 2005 Sydney Mooloolaba line honours winning crew, including Chris Links and Cameron Miles will be on board for the boat’s second Sydney Gold Coast Race, finishing second over the line to Wild Oats X last year.

Steven David is preparing for the inaugural Sydney Mackay Yacht Race in July and is using this race as a shakedown. With Skandia favoured for line honours, the canting keel 60 foot Reichel/Pugh design Wild Joe is one of an impressive fleet of grand prix 60 footers contesting IRC honours.
