Bacardi

Bacardi

 

Bacardi had a total refit for last year's race and finished 3rd in Division E.  An older design, she is always assured of finishing a long ocean race and was one of the few finishers in the '98 race; one of the worst on record, finishing 3rd in Division E, she still races competitively in Victoria.  Ainley and Williams bring with them their regular experienced crew - a mix of old and young.
