Kareelah

 

Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia, SA Kareelah is a veteran of the 1963 Sydney-Hobart race, where she place 9th when sailed by veteran ocean racer Dick Fidock. Over the years she has won many races in South Australia. From 1989 to 1993 she was gutted and totally rebuilt and could possible be the youngest and most modern of the 30-year veteran entries. Simon Moody hopes that with a bit of luck he could be taking home the silver this year.
