The Yachts

Patsy

 

"Patsy" was built in 1952 by Jock Muir the well-known Tasmanian builder, to a design by Laurent Giles.  She has recently be re-rigged with a 15/16 rig by Alspar to a rig design by Peter Cole.  Bad luck prevented her from finishing the 1968 Sydney-Hobart race, but her owner is determined about this one and she could give many new yachts a shock.
