Profile
This famous New Zealand cutter has now sailed approximately 60,000 miles offshore since launching in 1970, including 2 previous Sydney Hobart races and 2 Trans- Pacific races. Buccaneer is certainly well up in the race for line Honours but will find the competition a lot tougher than when she took out fastest time in 1970.
