Profile

Previously the well performed Sweet Caroline, a Clipper Cup team yacht, this powerful Davidson designed 42 footer is now owned by a syndicate of members of the CYCA headed by Maurie Cameron. One of their major claims to fame is that Cameron and other crewmembers, are said to have created that notorious Hobart race drink – Mutton Bird Repellent – over proof rum and bitter lemon, drunk whilst warm.
