Originally designed to the old One Ton Rule, this timber hulled sloop is still a top performer in long ocean races. She finished second on Illingworth handicaps in her division of the Sydney Hobart in 1986 and also second in OTC race from Hobart to Perth. She finished third overall in the IOR division of last year's Lord Howe Island Race. Her navigator, Victorian Don Lang will be sailing his 27th Hobart race.
