Profile

As Swan Premium I, this hi-tech One Tonner was a member of the Australian team which finished a fine third in this year’s Admiral’s Cup in England. She had a luckless series, except for the Fastnet Race in which she finished sixth overall in an excellent sailing effort by skipper Abrahams, helmsman Bernie Case, and her crew. Will be sailing in either the Australian or Victorian Southern Cross Cup team. Owner/skipper Lou Abrahams is a former Sydney-Hobart winner.
