Cadence

 

This is a welcome reappearance of the 1966 Sydney-Hobart race winner now under the command of Mel Jones, who formerly sailed one ton cupper "Veninde". See all to infrequently in recent years, she can be relied upon to give an excellent account of herself, particularly in a fairly long drawn out race.
