Profile
One of Ron Holland's latest designs, she just failed to make this year's British Admiral's Cup team against fierce competition. However, she put in a powerful performance during Cowes Week and will start the Sydney Hobart Race with a very strong crew, including her experienced owner, Chris Dunning and twice Hobart winner Peter Kurts, who was on board Marionette in the '79 Fastnet.
Member of the UK Southern Cross Cup team.
