Profile

An Adams design launched in 1980, this is the former The Newcastle Flyer from Lake Macquarie. Now sailing for Tasmania under new owner Tony Rowland, she has to her credit a line honours victory in the Montagu Island race. With a TCF of .9037 for a 39 footer, line honours victory comes much easier than handicap victory. Many of the crew this will be their first trip to Hobart.
