Profile
This aluminium Scott Kaufman design, launched by his father Ted for the 1977 Admiral's Cup trials is potentially one of the hottest two tonners in Australia that has been a consistent under achiever. She is also one of the prettiest contemporary IOR designs in the country. If current owner Harry Janes and his crew can put her in the right place at the right time, she has the boat speed to score well in the Hobart.
