Gabrielle III

 

This masthead sloop, designed by Sparkman and Stephens and built in the Scottish yard of McGruer in 1967, is the first Canadian entry in to the Sydney Hobart Race.  Her Canadian crew members have raced in Transpac and Norpac Races and a lively performance can be expected from this craft and her crew.
