Enid
This very good looking ketch was built in 1962 to a design by John Alden. She is one of the larger yachts in the race and in strong breezes with slightly sprung sheets "Enid" can really fly as is evidenced by the fact that she still holds the Sydney-Brisbane Race record and held the Montagu Island Race record until the 1969 race. This is her first start in a Hobart race in the hands of new owner, Bill McRae.
