Winston Churchill was one of the most able starters in the first Sydney Hobart Race, finishing second and gaining third placing on handicap. This will be her sixth Hobart race, the first three being under the hand of her designer builder and owner, Percy Coverdale. The others are under her new owner, Sir Arthur Warner from Melbourne. This is an able racing yacht as well as a most comfortable cruiser. Last year she won the Queenscliff to Sydney Race prior to starting in the Hobart race. This year she will be cruising up to Sydney as the Queenscliff to Sydney Race organised by the Cruising Yacht Club of Victoria is to be held bi-annually.
