Profile

At the ripe old age of 71 Peter Joubert will be competing in his 25th Sydney Hobart in the cruising yacht which he designed himself. Best results are 7th overall under IMS in the 1991 Sydney Hobart and 16th in division in 1992. There heavy conditions of the '93 race suited Kingurra, however chances of a place were dashed after she went to the aid of a stricken yacht Adjuster, rescuing the 8 member crew when they were forced to abandon ship in Bass Strait.
