Star Wars

 

Formerly known as Bacardi, Star Wars was one of the first of the famous Cole 43 designs to be launched back in 1970.  Originally the designer's own boat, Bacardi had an enviable racing record through the early seventies before being sold to Victoria, where she continued to be very consistent.  Now somewhat outclassed, she is still a fine sea boat.
