Pekljus

Japan-based David Ferrall originally started building this 15 metre boat for a round-the-world race that was subsequently cancelled.  The boat was launched last year and Pekljus competed in the 60th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race last year but was one of the many prudent retirements because of the Bass Strait gale and pessimistic ongoing forecast.  Virtually the same crew is lining up again for 2005.
