Profile

Launched in 1974, this will be one of the prettiest yachts in the race, built (would you believe) of Huon Pine. Her early racing record, in the hands of well-known Tasmanian identity Hedley Calvert, resulted in a win in the 1975 One Ton Cup and a place in the Tasmanian Southern Cross Cup team that year. A well-founded and well-designed yacht, nothing should bother her in this race, not even finishing out of the money.
