Bacardi

Bacardi

 

A Peterson design, formerly of Melbourne, she raced in 1981 as Spotlight and became 107th.  Her 81st (Ed. 41st) in 1980 was also only average.  While outclassed today (she is 1978 vintage) she has potential to do better than those results.  Her new S A management are experienced in this Race and should give a good account of themselves.
