Profile

This former Admiral's cupper has raced twice to Hobart:  she gained a 6th in 1974 under skipper Alan Bond. However, in 1981 she is a little outdated, although this Lexcen design could still perform well, particularly if conditions are on the boisterous side. This year she will be sailed by Alan's son John who also took her to a 2nd overall in the Fremantle – Bali race.
