Profile
Metung is a town on the Gippsland Lakes in Victoria, where this yacht was built and from which she takes her name. Built in 1957 to a design by Sydney naval architect, Alan Payne, she raced for the first time last year, capturing 5th place. Her designer, Alan Payne, will be on board this year, together with a most experienced crew and it seems that this most beautiful yacht should equip herself well. Ketch rigged with a dark blue hull, she will be easily recognised.
