Profile

Tam O'Shanter is owned and sailed by the RAN College  at Jervis Bay. Built by A McKenzie in Melbourne in 1951 she has also participated in many races from Melbourne, winning amongst other things the Lady Nelson trophy in 1955 and a Bass Strait race in 1953. She has participated three times in the Hobart classic, her best placing to date being a seventh place in 1954 and as her last entry was in 1956 this newly rigged sloop might have something up her sleeve.
