Profile
One of Australia's most famous yachts and veteran of the ocean racing scene, Balandra was launched in 1965 and was a member of the victorious 1967 Australian Admiral's cup team. She remains a superb yacht and one of the most handsome examples of the pre-IOR ocean racers. Now sailing out of Hobart, her crew will be looking to outperform their 1986 result.
