Profile

An aluminium Sparkman and Stephens design, she just missed selection in the 1972 New Zealand One Ton Cup team. Later under charter to Syd Fischer she was an impressive performer in light weather in the Australian One Ton Cup trials, but did not make the three yacht team. She has been chartered by Rodney Hill to represent the United Kingdom in the One Ton Cup. With a New Zealand owner and crew, she will have a very good chance in the Hobart race.
