Diamond Cutter

 

This will be the fourth time Alan Sweeney will have take the 1-tonner down. He will be hoping for a better performance than on his previous starts which gave him 77th, 5th and 'retired'. Whilst she was a most successful boat when first launched, her design and rating would count against her these days.
