Zilvergeest

 

"Zilvergeest" is a much modified Plympt Class designed by Van de Stadt and built by John Batt.  The smallest boat in the fleet, she approaches her sixth Sydney-Hobart hoping for light conditions which would suit her low handicap.

Her best performance was seventh overall and fourth in Division 2 in 1965,  Further modifications have been carried out since the last race.
