Matika

 

A fibreglass version of the famous Swanson 36 class, "Matika" was placed last year and should be well up with the leaders again this time.  This is a very fast yacht with an excellent handicap and seems to sail well in all types of weather.  She, like her sisters, is a dangerous rival to the rest of the fleet - definitely a boat to watch.
