Profile
The top triallist in the 1985 New Zealand selection series for the Southern Cross Cup, she is a development of the 1985 Australian Admiral's Cup yacht, Drake's Prayer. However, she had a disappointing series in Australia, finishing 36th in the Hobart race that year. She was subsequently sold to Hong Kong and will be a member of the Hong Kong team in this year's Southern Cross Cup.
