A Farr Two tonner built by Kiwi Yachts in Florida, Fiona was originally raced by her owner Jock Sturrock before being sold to Doug Coulter in 1982. Her best result was 3rd in the first Great Circle Race in 1979. There is plenty of experience aboard with John Stanton, ex sailing master of Satin Sheets, and Bob Snape, winner of the 1979 navigators prize on the same boat. The current owner first sailed to Hobart 20 years ago when Freya completed her hat-trick.
