Profile

This will be a welcome return for skipper Brian Millar who competed in the 1965, 1966 and 1969 Hobart races. He is back as a member of the New Zealand (South) Southern Cross team with a 1973 Sparkman and Stephens design. Like all boats of that era she is at best going to windward in tough conditions and should Bass Strait repeat its 1977 turmoil, she will be nipping at the heels of more modern lightweight designs.

Member of the NZ South, Southern Cross Cup team.
