One  of Sparkman Stephens most successful designs in Australia, Salacia very narrowly missed going to England with the 1965 Admirals Cup team. Always a difficult boat to beat, she has performed very well in all major ocean race events so Salacia  must be considered as one of the yachts likely to win on handicap. She will be well and keenly sailed and this season has acquired a considerable amount of new sails and equipment.
