Profile
A veteran performer who could still figure in the results, Apollo II is in top form already this year having taken the line honours/handicap double in the Apollo Bay Race after winning the Victorian IOR Winter Series Championship. Designed by Ben Lexcen she represented Australia in the 1973 Admirall's Cup while her best performance in the Hobart was fourth in 1972. She could easily surprise.
