Bacardi

 

Bacardi has rarely missed a Hobart race over the years.  Her best result came in 1993 when she was declared 1st in division in IMS after being granted redress for assisting another yacht.  Other good results include a 2nd and a 3rd in division.  This much sailed Peterson 44 goes at her best in a light breeze right on the nose.
