Profile
Perhaps the best-known of all maxi racers, this big American ketch has recently been refitted to improve performance in her continuing battle for maxi yacht supremacy against Kialoa. This rivalry has continued worldwide for two years and promises to produce an exciting battle for 1977 Hobart line honours.
