Boomerang VII

 

Barely completed in time for the last Sydney-Hobart Race, "Boomerang" immediately made a name for herself by coming second in her class and overall.  Designed by Peter Joubert and built by previous owner Geoff Baker, "Boomerang" is of foam fibreglass sandwich construction and combines extremely light weight with ultra light displacement.

In the hands of new owner Peter Hill she has been up near the leaders in the local offshore races.
