Kathleen Gillett
This yacht is the first Hobart entry from New Guinea but she is no stranger to this race, having gained fourth place in the first Sydney-Hobart in 1945 under the command of CYCA member Jack Earl. Ketch rigged, she does not have a favourable handicap but her determined skipper and crew are certain to acquit themselves with credit.
