Launched in 1976 this Blackburne design has placed 64th, 66 and 17th in Hobart, the last being a very creditable result. She has over the years been very active in passage racing – twice to Noumea and four times in the  Brisbane to Gladstone. A very sound crew are looking forward to hard headwinds (which makes then the only ones in the fleet), but even stiff conditions will not allow them to bask their way to the front of the queue for the trophies.
