Siska

Siska

 

In three seasons of racing in West Australian waters, "Siska" has built herself a formidable reputation, with line honours in all major ocean races except one.  Formerly "Hiawatha". "Aberlady", "Kirribilli", she was restyled by Rolly Tasker in 1966 and rigged as a ketch with all aluminium spars.  For sheer speed she is probably unequalled by any monohull near her size anywhere.
