Profile

Built in 1934 as a ketch and converted in 1957 to a cutter, this powerful and beautifully equipped American entry is capable of taking line honours and handicap honours in almost any conditions. She was the overall winner in the 1961 Trans-Pacific Race, won Class 1 and was placed 3rd overall in the 1957 Trans-Pacific Race. She recently defeated Stormvogel in the 1965 Honolulu Hanali Bay Race and holds the elapsed time record for the Ensenada Race. Performance will be watched with great interest.
