This Queensland yacht has enjoyed good results this year, including a 2nd over the line in the Brisbane Gladstone race for the 2nd year running. Owner/skipper Maynard Smith has assembled almost exactly the same crew as last year, (with the addition of sailing journalist Vanessa Dudley), to once again attempt the race after equipment failure forced her out last year. This yacht is fully fitted out for cruising with all the mod cons including air-conditioning and water maker, but is light enough to be competitive in downwind reaching conditions.
