Although a newcomer to the Sydney-Hobart race, this Sparkman and Stephens designed sloop built by T. K. Atkinson, of Auckland, is no newcomer to offshore racing and comes with the 1967 N.Z. Offshore Gold Cup points prize and a long list of good placings.  Modified underwater to incorporate some of Intrepid's features, this yacht could well be the spearhead of the Kiwi attack on two Hobarts in a row.
