Cadence

 

Undoubtable a favourite for this race, "Cadence" has had a brilliant run of successes, including winning second division in the last Hobart race and winning overall in the Montegu Island race. Although one of the smallest rating boats in the fleet, she outsails most of her less favourable and larger rivals and is sure to be up against the placegetters.
