Profile

This pretty timber yacht of Tasmanian Celery top pine was built in 1967 to an early (1948) Kan Walker design. This will be her first Hobart; she has cruised the east coast over the past few years and has done some offshore racing in Bass Strait. The crew is not long on ocean racing experience, but extensive cruising passages and hard work preparing the yacht for the trip will stand them in good stead. She will be far from the leaders but is a very popular entry from the Tamar Yacht Club, Launceston.
