Edge makes its debut in the competitive Pallas Capital Gold Cup

John Bacon's Edge joins the Pallas Capital Gold Cup fleet, arriving in Australia for the opening Act. This Dunning 44 crew features several veterans from last season’s TP52 programs, enhancing the competitive Super40 lineup. Katie Spithill, strategist and former driver of the Hooligan program, expresses excitement about the new challenge. "The boat was built in Mona Vale and has returned home after one regatta in the US," she states. The team plans two days of sailing to familiarize themselves with Edge, which is new to the Australian circuit. Tactician Darren "Twirler" Jones highlights the modifications made since the boat's last race and mentions the steep learning curve ahead. He emphasizes that the first event focuses on building team dynamics and performance systems, rather than immediate results. With a diverse crew, they’re ready for the challenge. The Pallas Capital Gold Cup is shaping up to be a strong competition.
