Profile
Metung is coming back again this year to mark the 25th anniversary of her first Sydney Hobart Race. David Bull, a member of the crew and at present Commodore of the Metung Yacht Club, built the yacht and sailed her in several Sydney Hobart's. Under her present owner, Bill Woodward, she is still actively competing. Designed by Alan Payne and launched in 1956, she will probably not be placed as highly in the results as in 1957, when she came 5th overall, but she will take anything that comes in her stride.
