Sweet Caroline is a new Dubois 44-footer developed from the British Admiral's Cup yacht Victory of Burnham. Built in Kevlar, Klegecell and carbon fibre, with aluminium frames, she represents the latest in ocean racer construction. She was completed just in time to gain a place in the CYCA team for the Clipper Cup, in which she finished 3rd in division and 12th overall. Owner Marshall Phillips has been sailing with the same crew for some years, and this boat has to be one of the favourites this year.
