This yacht narrowly missed selection in the 1981 Australian Admiral's Cup team under former owner Denis O'Neil. Beautifully built in aluminium in New Zealand and designed by Doug Peterson, this big slop will put in a good performance under new owner, the colourful Joe Goddard. Unfortunately dismasted early in the season, she is now back in top condition and this young crew will be looking to better the fine 9th placing of last year.
