Southerly is the oldest yacht in the fleet and did her 1st Hobart race in 1958 under the current owner, skipper Don Mickdleborough (aka 'The Don Two'). She won the Veterans Division in the '94 and '95 race and placed 3rd overall in the '95 race. The 6 crew members have completed an amazing 106 Sydney Hobart races between them but there is no sign of their competitiveness abating as the crew set out to beat rival veteran yacht Canon Maris.
