Profile

Taurus is the latest design from the drawing board of Peter Cole and is built of balsa fibreglass sandwich. She was only recently launched but is already giving handicap honours an nudge in CYCA offshore events. Also in the race are two sister ships Rum Runner and Bacardi and the three yachts will provide a good three-cornered duel. Any of the three are quite capable of taking out first place on handicap
