Kim Jaggar and Travis Read purchased the 1998 Hobart winner Illusion in April last year.  In her heyday, she was among the smallest yachts to win the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race at 34 feet for her original owner, Gino Knezic from Melbourne. Although the yacht was designed to the old IOR rule, she performs well under IRC.   Expect good things if conditions are favourable for the smaller yachts; Jaggar is an experienced and competent ocean racing helmsman. In last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart, Illusion placed fourth in IRC Division 4 and sixth in the CYCA’s Blue Water Pointscore Series.
