Profile
Mercedes III was designed by owner Ted Kaufman and built by Quilkey Bros. for the 1967 Admiral's Cup Series, when she was outstandingly successful. Chosen again for the 1969 Series in England she again more than pulled her weight in Australia's unsuccessful but highly meritorious defence of the Admiral's Cup. She will be driven as hard and skillfully as ever this year as one for the NSW Southern Cross Cup team.
