This husky and seaworthy vessel participated in the first Hobart Race, finishing second, and gaining third placing on handicap. This race will be her ninth. Originally owned by well-known Tasmanian Percy Coverdale, she is now in the hands of Sir Arthur Warner of Melbourne who has sailed her consistently on Port Phillip. Early in 1959 she went aground in heavy seas off the Victorian coast and it speaks well of the strength built into her that she is once again participating in this classic. With many trophies already to her credit and with an able crew, she should be well up front with the contenders for line honours.
