Profile

A beautifully built Scott Kaufman designed one tonner built on the Tamar River by Gary Smedley. The Sting was launched in December 1976. She lost her rudder in her maiden race, the Melbourne Devonport, providing instant seasoning for owner and crew. She finished a close 2nd to Piccolo in the Australian One Ton Championships in February.
