Four Winds II

 

This steel sloop is the successor to Stan Gibson's tiny "Four Winds I" which, at 27 ft. 4 in. overall, has the distinction of being the smallest yacht ever to race in the Sydney-Hobart.

"Four Winds II" is this year making her fifth trip to Hobart and while she is no racing machine she will be most ably crewed and sailed.
