Profile

This fabulous performer is capable of winning this race, especially in a breeze. Designed by Ed Dubois just in time for the 1979 Admiral's Cup trials, she proved a sensation right from her first sail, dominating the trials then going on to spearhead Australia's 1979 Admiral's Cup triumph. Under her second owner Jim Hardy, she finished 8th overall and 1st in her division in the last Hobart, and earlier this year she scored a slashing line honours/handicap double in the 180 mile Cabbage Tree Island Race sailed in gale conditions. She will start one of the favourites.

Member of the WA Southern Cross Cup team.
