One of the British Southern Cross Cup team, Panda is a Hugh Welbourn design launched in April this year. She is a state of the art design, constructed of Kevlar and other modern materials. Reserve yacht for the British Admiral's Cup team this year, she was 8th in her class in the Fastnet, has been well placed in RORC races in her short career. She has an experienced crew with a depth of ocean experience. This will definitely be a handicap contender. Look for the 'Panda feet' on her hull when she heels.
