Summit Bacardi

Summit Bacardi

 

For her 21st birthday, owners Graeme and John have given the old girl a refit in time for her 18th Sydney to Hobart Race.  Bacardi has rarely missed a Hobart over the years, her best result coming in 1993 when she was declared 1st in Division B after being granted redress for assisting another yacht.  Other good results include a 2nd in division in the storm ravaged 1998 Telstra Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
