Profile
Good News is one of many Farr 37's in this year's Race. She withdrew from last year's event with a damaged headfoil, but her sisterships Silver Minx and Hummingbird finished 3rd and 4th overall. These yachts are the new breed of 'affordable' class racers dreamed up by the very creative late Kevin Shepherd. They have all-round qualities, performing well in all conditions.
