Profile

Originally named Sweet Caroline, this powerful sloop sailed for Australia in the Clipper Cup in Hawaii and in Australia has won many major offshore races over more than a decade. She is now owned and raced by a consortium of well-known ocean racing yachtsmen, including CYCA director Maurie Cameron who has sailed 15 times to Hobart, as has crew member Geoff Barter.
