This small steel sloop was designed and built by her owner in 1951. One of the most consistent starters in CYCA events since her launching, she won the seasons Ocean Racing Point Score in 1951 and took out 2nd place in 1958, losing out to Solo in the very last race. A surprisingly efficient yacht she has had more luck in the shorter coastal races than in the long haul South. This being her fifth start, she was well to the fore in 1954, when she was unlucky enough to loose the top section of her mast. She was sailed on to Hobart and then back to Sydney under jury rig, a tribute to the crew's seamanship. As seamanship and determination are the ultimate factors in this race she might again astound the critics.
