This Maxi yacht as Atlantic Privateer competed in the 1985/'86 Whitbread Round the World Race. She was dismasted in the first leg; she was the first to finish in a very exciting battle in leg two, and she completed the remainder of the race quite creditably. The Hobart Race will be a short sprint in comparison and it is expected that Skipper Padda Kuttel will drive her hard against the other Maxis in this race.
