Profile
One of Australia's most famous yachts, Gretel is making her fourth journey to Hobart after being converted to ocean racing in 1975. Dismasted in this year's Montague Island Race, she will be carrying a new, bigger rig, which should improve her dubious light weather performance. Sailed by a very experienced crew, Gretel will be one of the first yachts into Constitution Dock.
