Profile
Mercedes V has been a participant in the Hobart race since 1977. Originally built for Ted Kaufman and designed by his son Scott, she was a trialist for the 1977 Admiral's Cup team, and although she showed a lot of potential, she was not selected. Ian Lewis will be taking her for the second time and he has selected a very well knitted crew who have been sailing her since this year's CYCA Winter Series.
Member of the PNG Southern Cross Cup team.
