Profile
Designed by owner TeKaufman and built by Cec Quilkey, she was a success right from the start and represented Australia in the victorious Admirals Cup Team in 1967 and again in 1969 when Australia was only narrowly beaten. Seeking selection to go to England for the third time, she is right up with the newer yachts on handicap.
