Profile
A classic S&S designed yacht, Sunseeker has enjoyed considerable success in club offshore racing, particularly with the introduction of the Illingworth and Australia T.C.F. handicapping systems. Co-skippers are V C Thomas, with three previous Hobarts to his credit, and J H Quinn, who has sailed in eight Hobarts. Sunseeker won the RPAYC's LOPS in 1984-85 and has finished second and third overall in the following seasons, under Illingworth handicapping.
