'Kiss at Meridien Marinas Airlie Beach Race Week 2010 ? Julie Geldard Vid Pic Pro' Julie Geldard ?

Pierre Gal's Sport8xx Kiss has entered Meridien Marinas Airlie Beach Race Week again this year.

Kiss now has a new carbon/epoxy/cedar keel with a beautiful new bulb, all designed by Tasmanian architect Fred Barret.

Joining the crew this year is Jan Sholten, ex laser masters world champion from Contender Sailcloth.

We think we will be quicker this year - can't wait for Airlie Beach Race Week, with a big fleet of 21 sportsboats, to start.
