Sundowner

Built in 1968 for the Admiral's Cup trials she is able to sail up with the best yachts in the world.  A big powerful yacht, she likes fresh breezes and in the 1968 Sydney-Hobart she came tenth overall despite the handicap of a broken forestay.  She was designed and built by the Swanson Bros. who are so well represented this year by the Swanson 36s.  It is interesting to note that the crew between them add up to over 60 Hobart races.
