Profile

Metung is a town on the Gippsland Lakes in Victoria, where this yacht was built and from which she takes her name. Built this year to a design by Sydney naval architect, Alan Payne. She will be the newest yacht competing this year. In her only race start to date, the annual Gippsland Legacy Race, she gained a first place and since then has spent the time cruising around the Great Barrier Reef.

Ketch rigged with a dark blue hull, she will be easily recognised.
