Outrage

 

"Outrage" is one of the top contenders from New Zealand and is designed by well-known Dick Carter of the U.S.A., designer of the One Top Cup yacht "Optimist", which sailed in the 1968 Hobart Race.  She is a close sister to "Optimist" and is of steel construction.  Launched in August this year, she comes to Australia with a crew experienced in offshore and dinghy racing.
