Norla

 

Norla is no stranger to the Sydney-Hobart race, this being her 7th start in 8 years and the fourth in the hands of her present owner.  Halvorsen designed and built, her best performance in this race was 5th in her first start in 1960, but she has always finished well up the list.  With her experienced crew and improved rating, this year will be no exception to her previous excellent performances.
