Profile

This yacht, designed and built in Melbourne by J Savage and Son, will be competing for the second time in the Hobart race. She was bought by her present owner in 1958 and since then has undergone considerable modification in an attempt to lower her handicap rating. Cutter rigged, and with a new wardrobe of sails, this yacht performs best in light conditions. Her performance will be watched with interest.
