Profile

A fibreglass yacht designed by Peter Nicholson of England, this yacht is no stranger to the run to Hobart, having been in the 1964 and 1967 races in the hands of the present Commodore Bob Crichton-Brown, and in 1968 in the hands of the present owner John Morris.  During the year she races regularly with the Royal Prince Alfred fleet at Pittwater and came second in the No. 1 Division for the 1968 season with that Club.
