The Yachts

Calliope

 

One of the smallest yachts in the race, "Calliope" is a very fine performer, having recently won the Montagu Island event in arduous conditions.  This boat, designed in Sydney by Ron Swanson, must be considered one of the favourites for the race.  She is particularly well handicapped and would most appreciate light weather.  Consistently this type of yacht has beaten over the line boats which are bigger than herself.
