An old friend returns -  Southern Myth did not start last year after 10 consecutives starts. Quite an impressive effort when it is considered that Norm Howard has to sail the round-trip Adelaide, Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide to compete. A 3rd placing in 1958 was the best performance. In more recent years she has been dogged by misfortunes and has not shown up as well in the results as this yacht is capable of doing.
