Profile
At long last this extraordinary yacht makes her appearance in Australian waters. She is a Holland designed 80-footer and sistership to Kialoa. Owner Bob Bell has taken a liking for Hobart races and is hoping that this pedigree yacht will emulate her record-breaking line honours/handicap double in the Fastnet Race this year. Among her very experienced crew will be the colourful America's Cup skipper Ted Turner, who has made a return to ocean racing. Condor must be the favourite for line honours.
