Previously named Witchcraft II, this Lake Macquarie yacht has contested many ocean races. She achieved her best results in the two heavy weather Hobarts of 1998 and 1999, where she finished 2nd and 3rd in division respectively. Good crew experience and a couple of first timers including CYCA Youth Academy sailor Joel Skelton.
