The Yachts

Ophir

 

Another of the famous Swanson 36s, which almost form a class of their own, "Ophir" will be going to Hobart for the first time.  Her owner and crew are very keen and she, like her sisters, should be well towards the front when the final results are known.  A good performer in all types of weather, "Ophir" is a boat many yachts would be pleased to beat.
