Owner, Stan Gibson has made an enviable name for himself over many years with the tiny but indomitable Four Winds I which competed on at least five occasions and each time was the baby of the fleet. The new yacht, Four Winds II is built of steel to a design by Ted Slater and at her first start was placed 3rd in the Queenscliff to Portland race, which augers better for Stan's chances in this event. With so little racing background, one can only surmise at her prospects, but her TCF seems quite favourable.
