The Yachts

Zeus II

 

Launched in 1979, Zeus II has competed extensively offshore including 15 Sydney to Hobarts and many Sydney-Mooloolaba and Sydney-Gold Coast races. One of two of the smallest yachts in the fleet, she proved that size is no handicap by winning the 1981 Sydney to Hobart Race. Owner/skipper Jim Dunstan will be sailing his 25th Hobart race.
