It is good to see Kanga in this fleet. This Cole 43 by East Coast Yachts launched in 1978, she is of a breed that did very creditably in Hobart is in the '70s. They are fine looking vessels and performed particularly well in fresh conditions, but outlasted their best racing results of these days. Frank Ryan did a Hobart in 1960 with his 12 metre Nefertiti. Since then he has covered many miles cruising worldwide with Kanga . A very experienced crew get a very good performance from her.
