Bacardi

Bacardi

 

An 'oldie but a goodie', this is still a very competitive yacht.  A very strong yacht, Bacardi was one of the few finishers in last year's race (one of the worst on record), finishing 3rd in Division B under IMS.  Ainley and Williams bring with them their regulare experienced crew and will also tackle the Tasman Triangle Series.  To make the yacht more competitive, Bacardi will have a total re-fit for this race.
