Profile

Here is a very colourful vessel and one of the most stately to be seen in our waters. She is a product of famous architect William Fife of Glasgow, and was sailed to Australia in 1927. Since Peter Warner acquired her in 1960, she has been a regular ocean racer, including starts in the last Hobart race and the Trans Tasman event among many others. She is now improved after many major modifications and her crew has high hopes of winning line honours, at least, this year.
