The Yachts

Pekljus

 

Hong Kong based skipper David Ferrall started building this boat in 2001 for Don McIntyre’s solo around the world race but when that event was cancelled, he put the project on hold and has only launched his Radford 50 this year. This will be the boat’s first major race and David has gathered good local knowledge with two Sydney based and two Hobart based sailors joining him.
