Profile

One of the renowned Cole 43s which, while outclassed these days, are still regarded as fine ocean racers. She has sailed every Hobart since 1971, achieving a consistent record of 10, 11, 15, 13 and 8th. Les Savage is a very experienced skipper, and his boat is guaranteed to do much better than many younger recently designed yachts that will learn that an older thoroughbred can still be hard to toss.
