Profile

For the third year, the Sydney Hobart has attracted an entry from the USSR, the previous yachts coming from Vladivostok. This is the first entry from Leningrad and is well-performed Peterson designed sloop which has won all offshore races in the USSR championships since being launched in 1982. Her crew are well experienced in offshore racing, and the entry marks the USSR’s expanding interest in yachting outside of the Olympic classes.
