Profile
Formerly Helsa! II, this yacht has won most major races except the Hobart, she still holds the Montagu Island record which she set in 1981, and she was third over the line last year. Now under charter to Bill Ferris of Barlow Winches fame, with so many maxis in this year's race she can't afford to give much away, or the other maxis will take a mile.
