Profile

One of the few yachts designed by expat Australian Scott Kaufman racing in his own country. The Sting has been campaigned by a variety of owners, the best results having been third in the 1986 Melbourne Hobart race. Still competitive, she was the Royal Brighton club champion in 1988. Very much a family crew with two of the owners sons aboard.
