Profile

Originally named Sweet Caroline, this powerful sloop represented Australia in the Clipper Cup in Hawaii. Now owned by a group of CYCA members headed by Maurie Cameron, the intrepid crew will head for Hobart once more on Boxing Day with their Sydney Hobart drink - Mutton Bird Repellent, over proof rum and bitter lemon – drunk whilst warm!
