In nine seasons of hard racing on the East Coast of Auustralia and in Bass Strait, this powerful Pterson 44 has never retired from a race.  In 1986 she took first and line honours in the Melbourne to Grassy, King Island, race and was second in the Melbourne to Portland race.  Skipper John Gould is coming for his 23rd Sydney-Hobart.
