Kamehameha is a Knoop designed half tonner built in 1980. She previously competed in the 1983 Hobart Race and finished 70th in a fleet of 173. This yacht has been doing some travelling this year, having competed in the Mooloolaba and Gladstone races as well as Hamilton Island Race Week. Like all Hobart boats she will get a great reception when she arrives at her home port, whether finishing high or low in the placings.
