Caroline is the ex Sweet Caroline which did not compete in last year's Hobart but won Division A in 1983. Designed by Dubois and built by McConaghy as a state-of-the-art yacht in 1982, Caroline has been successful without being a world beater and is better suited to lighter air. Her new owner, David Hales, who is doing his first Hobart, will be hoping for a marked change in the 1984 weather. She will only do well if the weather is light.
