Living Doll

 

The canting keel on this 50-footer is the brainchild of New Zealand boat-builder Mick Cookson, working in conjunction with designers Farr Yacht Designs.  The boat is fast off the breeze with best results to date being a 6th in the Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and a third in the Melbourne to Port Fairy race in Bass Strait. 

Sistership Chieftain sailed impressively at Hamilton Island Race Week.
