The Yachts

Police Car

 

This yacht represented Australia in the winning 1979 Admirals Cup team with Impetuous and Ragamuffin. She was also top scoring boat of the series. A downwind flyer with a colourful history, owner Alan Duffy has virtually rebuilt Police Car to her original state in order to compete in her first Hobart since the 50th race in 1994.
