"Winston Churchill" is another yacht well known to followers of the Sydney-Hobart Race. She competed in the first event held in 1945, finishing second over the line and third on handicap to "Ranai". This year will be her 14th trip to Hobart and it is pleasing to, see this fine yacht still being maintained in perfect condition.
