Profile

One of the most famous yachts in the race, Police Car is still very fast. She was built in 1979 and was part of the winning Australian Admiral's Cup team that year. Despite her age she keeps coming up with the results being 3rd overall and 1st in Division B in the 1982 race. She placed 12th last year. This is a yacht to watch.
