Since being launched in 1984, Pippin has competed in most of the CYCA Short Ocean Point Score Series and this year she took out IMS and PHS Division B honours. Pippin achieved her best result in the 1996 Hobart race when she placed 2nd in division. Pippin was forced out of last year's Hobart race when a knockdown caused radio failure.
