The Yachts

Salty Tiger

 

This beautiful aluminium yawl designed and built by Bob Derekter of U.S.A., brings with her a formidable record of success.  

Winner of the 1969 Southern Ocean Racing Circuit of the U.S.A. she is one of the top yachts in the world and is a definite contender for line and handicap honours.

Her crew is mostly from the U.S.A. with a few top yachtsmen from Australia, and she promises to be one of the most outstanding yachts in the fleet.
