Beautifully built in New Zealand for Denis O'Neil and partners, this yacht is distinctive for her black topsides. O'Neil has already won the Hobart in 1968 with Koomooloo and this latest Peterson design could make it two. He has assembled a powerful crew, and although she has been raced only since November, she is going well; her duel with Apollo V will be a race highlight and this one must be a favourite.
