The Yachts

Zilvergeest

 

One of the smallest yachts ever to race to Hobart, "Zilvergeest" will be fronting up for the fifth time.  Extensively modified this year, she is sailing well but her strong point is with the breeze free and in these conditions can sail well up to her rating.  She was seventh overall in 1965 and, being a consistent competitor in local racing, has an experienced crew.
