Saracen II
This yacht is one of the Nicholson 36 class designed by a famous naval architect in England. These boats have not been notable in Australia for ocean racing successes and by contemporary standards their design may be a little conservative for their size. However, in favourable conditions these yachts have done very well in England and chalked up some remarkable successes. Similar conditions in this year's race may show the boat in her proper form.
