Profile
The first maxi built in Australia since 1979 (and launched only last month), Sovereign, by Pedrick, is a development of the US maxi Nirvana. A nucleus of the crew have sailed with Bernard Lewis for many years. There is in excess of 200 Hobarts among them. Has Sovereign had enough time to prepare?
