Formerly the 1977 Admiral's Cup representative, Superstar, under her new owner Harry James, will be racing for the Hong Kong Southern Cross Cup team. Although a 4-year-old design by Doug Peterson, Battle Star is still capable of performing well, especially if windward conditions prevail. Built in Melbourne she represented Victoria in the 1977 and 1979 Southern Cross series. Her best place in the Hobart was 99th and she was unfortunate having to retire in 1977 and 1978 races
