The Yachts

Balandra

Balandra

 

One of the three boats that in England last year won for Australia international yacht racing supremacy, "Balandra" is one of the fastest and most consistently sailed yachts in the fleet.  She will start as one of the favourites and under the command of the C.Y.C. Vice-Commodore, it would not surprise if she won a handicap place.  Always expertly sailed and hard driven, "Balandra" is definitely one of the yachts to beat.
