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.
