Profile
This yacht, competing in the Hobart race for the first time, is the only Tasmanian representative. Her owner, Ken Gourlay, sailed his previous yacht, Terra Nova, in the 1952 race, being fifth to finish. His new yacht is a light displacement ocean racer, built in 1955 to a design by John Illingworth and Harald Penrose, and was raced little until purchased recently by her present owner.
