Profile

Formerly Sweet Caroline, this Davidson two tonner has, under previous owner Marshall Phillips, had some exceedingly good results, including being in the 1980 victorious Clipper Cup team and winning the Sydney Suva Race of the same year. She has also performed well locally. For some reason she has not performed that well in Hobart. We are still waiting with baited breath to see how she does in this year's race.
