Living Doll
/media/789683/LivingDoll_146x206.jpg)
Designed by Bruce Farr and built by New Zealand boat-builder Mick Cookson, Living Doll was modified prior to this year’s Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island race weeks and is now sailing with a conventional rather than a canting keel. Owner Michael Hiatt is delighted with the results so far, including a 2nd in division at Hamilton Island.
Living Doll finished 11th overall on IRC results in her debut Rolex Sydney Hobart in 2005 and retired from the race last year. The Cooksons are rocket ships off the breeze and they and the TP52s will be hoping for fast running and reaching conditions.
