Patsy

 

Built in Hobart by Jock Muir to a Laurent Giles design in 1950, this yacht is no stranger to the C.Y.C., though she has never contested a Hobart race before.  Though old by today's standards, she is an able ocean going yacht and in the hands of her new owner, who in the early days did four Hobart races in "Mistral II" and "Gypsy Queen", could give many of the newer boats a surprise.
