Profile

Caprice is making one of her all too rare appearances in the Sydney Hobart Race.  She was top boat in the Australian Admiral's Cup team in 1965, and startled the English yachtsmen by re-appearing there again in the 1967 team.  She narrowly missed selection in 1969 and has since been all powerful in C.Y.C.A ocean races.  Designed on classical racing yacht lines she looks as well as she goes.
