Zilvergeest

 

This little Van de Stadt designed sloop is a consistent starter in all CYCA ocean races.  Placed 7th overall and 4th in Division 2 in the 1965 Sydney-Hobart Race, she was compelled to withdraw last year and is worth watching this year with new modifications to her hull shape and sail area.
