The Yachts

Koomooloo

 

Koomooloo needs no introduction to followers of the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race having won the event in 1968. She has also been a member of the last two Australian Admiral's Cup Teams. Having her first race to Hobart with her new owner in charge Koomooloo must still be considered one of the favourites.
