Profile

Probably the most beautiful yacht in Australia, Pacha lines up for this year's Hobart after 18 months under cruising gear only. Although she will find it hard to keep up with newer designs on handicap, age allowance will compensate. Pacha won the 1970 Hobart, one of the toughest. Still a force to be reckoned with if conditions are fresh, particularly downhill.
