Indian Pacific, a Farr 40 design, was the 1984 Hobart winner whilst chartered to the builder Gunter Heuchmer. Since that time owner John Eyles has won the IOR section of the Hamilton Island Race Week and is campaigning for inclusion in the NSW Southern Cross team. With a new suit of sails on order, this Farr 40 in particular will be high in the results, regardless of weather conditions.
