Franklin

 

This will be "Franklin's" fifth start in this race.  She was designed in England by Morgan Giles and is sailed by the staff and cadets of the Royal Australian Naval College.

She does not rate well under the R.O.R.C. Rule of handicapping but she is strong and well built and starts to go when conditions get hard.
