Gip

 

“Gip” is one of the latest of the Tasman Seabird designs from the board of Alan Payne. ”Cherana,” a sister ship, won the event in 1959 and other sister ships, ”Kaleena” and ”Joanne Brodie” were placed in the 1960 and 1961 events. “Gip” will have an undeniable chance in the handicap section.
