Profile
This alloy Peterson design has been keenly sailed since launching late in '81, but she has never been a top performer in spite of being well crewed. She got 3rd in Division 1 of the CYCA LOPS 1982-'83, and she recently won a 90 miler which led to a protracted celebration by her crew who must have forgotten what a trophy looks like. In previous Hobarts she has come 78th and 39th. On charter to the Tasmanian Southern Cross team, her crew has loads of experience but will have to pull something out of the bag to be in the top ranks.
