She II

She II

 

She II is Peter Rodgers’ golden oldie, a regular Rolex Sydney Hobart competitor although she missed last year.  This Olsen 40 as had a number of facelifts since her launch 23 years ago and has contested 10 Gosford-Lord Howe Isle races, placing 4th in 2001 and 3rd PHS in 2002 and 8 Sydney Hobarts, her best result coming in the 2000 Race when she finished 2nd on PHS.

She will line up again on Boxing Day for the 60th Anniversary race, proving the old adage about those who sail on that day: 'no brains and no Christmas Pudding'.
