Shortwave

Shortwave

 

Shortwave is a newly imported Judel Vrolijk designed former TP52 (ex Cristabella) that has been modified for offshore sailing as an IRC52  in the UK before coming to Australia in early March 2008. She is crewed by a large contingent of the Short family headed by Matthew & Christine, with 4 keen sailing daughters Kylie, Nikki, Caitlin & Sarah Short. The CYCA winter series has been used to “tune” this new thoroughbred & with a new wardrobe of Ian Short sails, the boat is getting faster in each outing. The boat competed in the Grant Thornton Short Ocean Pointscore Series finishing 3rd in IRC Overall and the Ocean Pointscore Series in 2008/09.
