Profile

This yacht came out to Australia as a competitor in the Portsmouth to Fremantle Parmelia Race to mark Western Australia's 150th anniversary. She finished 5th overall. She was built in 1978 and raced in the UK before coming out, including participation in the notorious Fastnet Race of that year. Her results have not been happy in the Hobart Race, but perhaps this will be the year.
