Sylvena

Sylvena

 

A Herreschoff sloop built in 1956 by W L Holmes and Co., Sydney.  She has subscribed to the modern necessity of an alloy mast but retains her wooden boom with roller reefing.  This will be her third Hobart and like all Herreschoff designed boats she goes best in hard reaching conditions.
