Not A Diamond

Not A Diamond

 

One of three Queensland entrants in the Land Rover Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, Not a Diamond is a Beneteau First 40 owned by David Redfern. It was launched in October 2012 and competes out of the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron. Last year it finished fifth in IRC Passage Division 2 at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week and was fourth in the IRC Racing Division at Magnetic Island Race Week.

This is the maiden Sydney Gold Coast race for Not a Diamond and Redfern is hoping to keep inside a top five result. He should have good in-house competition with the other four Beneteau 40’s in the race.
