Cadence

Cadence

 

Under the competent hand of Jim Mason, this tiny sloop has set up a most enviable record, having won Div II of the Sydney to Hobart race in her 2 starts, a Montegu Island Race and many shorter offshore events in a great variety of conditions. A favourite last year she will not doubt be well to the fore again.
