Profile

Built in New Zealand for world cruising, she is strong and seaworthy. The ketch rig is not advantageous in windward work but owner Neville Gosson will get the best out of her. The light conditions last year did not suit her, but  strong winds with sprung sheets will considerably improve her final placing
