Profile

John Bennetto sailed in his first Sydney-Hobart aboard Kintail as a for’ard hand back in 1947 and this year will be contesting his 27th race, with his newly launched Frers 47, Mirrabooka. The new boat was designed by Frers, free of any rule limitations be a “racing shape” — she is strong but not heavy, but fitted out below with the comforts of a Swan 46.
