Profile
This yacht was specially designed for the owner by the designer Van de Stadt and built by the well-known I E Giles of Utiekah III fame. She was launched in November 1969, and last year's Hobart race was her first. Unfortunately while in a good position, she hit a whale, causing structural damage and was forced to retire. Her best performance to date is outright third in the 1970 Maria Island Race.
