Profile
The first-ever Soviet entry for the Sydney to Hobart Race, this masthead sloop was built in Poland and has raced out of Vladivostok since 1984, enjoying considerable success including winning the Japan Sea Race of 1984 and 1987. Veter lost her rudder in the centre of a typhoon in the 1985 Japan Sea Race, but her crew sailed her to safety. She is being shipped to Australia, with some of the crew coming by ship, others flying in.
