Profile

True Blue was the top scoring yacht in the 1989 Australian Admiral's Cup trials, but in England her best performance was fourth in the light weather opening race of the cup. Heavy conditions did not suit her, but owner Klopper plans to optimise her for fresher winds of the Australian East Coast, where she will sail as a member of the WA team in the Southern Cross Cup. Crew will include most of her Admiral's Cup team.
