Invader is one of the very popular East Coast 31s that have been going to Hobart for years. Developed from Peter Cole's own half ton champion Nantucket, they are a very good sea boat and comfortable for their size. Invader has been raced keenly and competitively, and among her best results are a fourth in the '84 Lord Howe Race and second best scoring yacht in the 1983 Coffs Harbour offshore series.
