This year's edition of the SOLAS Big Boat, will see the Champion Wild Oats XI, renew their start line skirmishes against the Scallywag. Hamilton Island was the last time they eyed each other off, last August. Wild Oats XI was the victor in that Regatta, however Scallywag took two races off them, which must build their confidence going into this year's Solas Big Boat.

But it's not just about these two Super Maxis. Perpetual Loyal , Beau Geste, Black Jack, Chinese Whispers and Maserati will be in the mix as well.
