Jessica Watson, the youngest person to sail solo around the world has announced she will be competing in the 2012 H&R Block Three Peaks Race.

"The Three Peaks is a great event that has been on my 'to-do' list for a while. So I'm looking forward to contesting my first race this year with my friends Bruce and Suzanne Arms on Big Wave Rider. Having mountain runners as part of our team will be a unique experience. Thankfully I'm a sailor! "

"Sailing in Tasmanian waters is a challenge I enjoy. The bonus this time is that the course will take us right in amongst the spectacular scenery of the Bass Strait Islands and Tasmania's stunning East Coast. "

"See you at Beauty Point for the start on Good Friday!"
