Young Ones

 

This modified Young 11 was originally built in New Zealand in 1984 and was bought by Ian Miller in 2002 with a view to offshore racing.  The keel and rudder were changed in 2004 to the design of New Zealand Keith Dibley. She has notched up many sea miles between Melbourne and Tasmanian ports as well as Victorian coastal races, plus some good results, including a PHD 1st in the 2007 Melbourne to Port Fairy Race, a PHD 1st in the Melbourne to Flinders Race as well as winning the PHD division of the ORCV Winter Series in 2006 and, during the same season, taking the prestigious Cock of the Bay Race
