This grey hulled sloop is the first of the Australian " new breed" One Ton Cuppers and was designed by Sparkman and Stephens. Her hull is glass reinforced plastic, built by Doug Brooker in Manly Vale and interior work and timber decking was constructed by Quilkey Bros. She was launched in June 1971, and her best performances have been a first in a Melbourne International Offshore Rule race and fifth in the recent Melbourne to Portland race.
