Profile

Designed by Arthur Robb, a well-respected English architect, Palana is the only yacht in the race with a centreboard, a feature common in the USA, but rare in Australia. She went to Hobart in 1962 and 1963 coming 13th and 23rd. With a keen owner and crew, it is quite possible that this could be her best race yet.
