Profile
A Bob Miller (Ben Lexcen) design which is taken part in four previous Hobarts and won the ORCV IOR series last year, Apollo II was 1st overall in the Sandringham YC Winter Series and will be a serious challenger this year. She is sister ship to the slightly more famous but ill-fated Gingko, which struck a whale and sank in the Atlantic last year.
