Team 9: Don't Panic Racing

This is a team that could well be panicking: star runner Aubrey Henricks managed to tear his calf last weekend, and the team had a fantastic start to today's race - just a few seconds too early and had to turn around and re-start.
But if I know Rob and Jamie they will be far from panicking, in fact they'll be sitting back enjoying the ride to Flinders and probably catching other boats while they do it. This is a very experienced team, having competed in previous races together on Peter Newman's catamaran Plan Four and doing plenty of their own offshore sailing too. But somehow or other they still managed to run aground in Franklin Sound last year, earning a penalty of several hours. I'm sure they still arrived with a grin on their faces though.
Aubrey is still set to run - he's as tough as nails - with partner Doug Grubert from Kayena.
