Profile
A Lexcen design originally for Alan Bond, Apollo II will be competing in her tenth Hobart race, for the fourth time with her present owner who always races the yacht hard and notches up many victories in Victorian waters. Apollo II represented Australia in the 1973 Admiral's Cup. She has had some alterations to her keel and rig and her prospects would not be worse than in previous years.
