This is Peter Kurt's fourth ocean racer. He has won the race twice, in his S&S designed Love & War, and tried several times with his last Dubois yacht, Once More Dear Friends. This time he has gone to Bruce Farr for a boat slightly larger than the top performing Farr 40s. She has been built specifically for the Admiral's Cup in which Peter Kurts has represented Australia twice. Most of the crew have been sailing with him for many years, and there is some formidable experience among them Provided she is tuned and prepared for the race, which will be a job in the short time available, she should start as a favourite.
