An S&S 34, a type which has been well represented in this race including an outright win in 1969, Ricochet II is a fine example of the class, posting a Division C 3rd in the 1976 Sydney Hobart and innumerable successes racing with her home club, RSAYC. Boasting a very experienced owner and a top crew from South Australia, Ricochet II could give a good account of herself, particularly in heavy going.
