Profile
First Light is a Nelson Marek design from the USA. The yacht was launched in early 1985 specifically for the Admiral's Cup trials in Melbourne in February 1985. Gear failure in the trials and only a few results in the first part of the Melbourne 1985/86 season make it hard to predict this yacht's performance. A little smaller than a Farr 40 overall and with a TCF a little bigger, First Light will be hard pressed to win outright on handicap.
