Profile
The aspiring star of this year‘s Australian Admiral's Cup Team, she returns as a member of the Australian Southern Cross Team after a disappointing performance in England which she more than made up for with a slashing victory in the Two Ton Cup this year in Sardinia. Along with her Admiral’s Cup teammates she will start one of the race favourites. Skippered by the 1977 America’s Cup helmsman Noel Robins. Designed by Argentinian German Frers she proved an outstanding boat in all conditions and will take a power of beating in this race
Member of the Australian Southern Cross Cup team.
