Profile

This Morgan Giles designed sloop belonging to the Naval College at Jervis Bay has sailed frequently in offshore events but has been plagued by gear troubles and a mast which was eventually lost. Now entered in the Hobart race for the first time, she has a new alloy spar with which she has been sailing more impressively, particularly in light airs. Her crew is drawn from the Naval College.
