This brand-new craft is to a design by Buchanan in England, and is the first of the Vashti class to be built in Australia. Already two seasons old in England, these yachts have performed creditably in all offshore events there. She was built by L J and D Steel in Lake Macquarie, these builders already having two Hobart winners to their credit, namely Rani and Struen Marie.  She went extremely well in the last Montague Race until she had to retire with rigging troubles. No doubt by the start of the classic all her teething troubles will be over, and she will be trying hard to prove herself.
