Profile

A Peterson 2-tonner, this yacht went overseas after competing in the 1979 Admiral's Cup trials. She did many races in the Mediterranean, and in the UK took part in the disastrous 1979 Fastnet Race (24th overall). She won the New York Yacht Club trophy during the 1979 Cowes Week and represented Australia in the 1980 Sardinia Cup. Recently returned to Australia, this will be her first Hobart; her result will be watched with interest.
