Profile

Apollo II is celebrating her 21st birthday this year, and along with their owner John Duffin is still very competitive. This yacht's first Sydney Hobart was in 1972 as a 'youngster', and twice represented Australia at Admiral's Cup under Alan Bond's ownership. Duffin and crew finished 10th overall under PHS in last year's race and thinks a win in division would be a fitting 21st birthday present for his 'lady'.
