This will be Winston Churchill's eighth Hobart race in all, and her second under the new yawl rig. Originally built by well-known Hobart identity, Percy Coverdale who also designed and owned her, she was later bought by Sir Arthur Warner who sails her consistently on Port Phillip Bay. Earlier this year she went aground in heavy seas on the Victorian coast and it is the ultimate tribute to her builder that she did not disintegrate, in fact; she was loaded on a trailer, transported to Melbourne and quickly refurbished. She has carried away many trophies including a win in the Queenscliff Sydney race, and with an able crew this beautiful yacht will be trying hard.
