Ray White Koomooloo
This wonderful old timber yacht will be lining up for her tenth Rolex Sydney Hobart after winning her division last year. Built 38 years ago, Koomooloo twice represented Australia at the Admiral’s Cup and won the Sydney Hobart in 1968. In last year’s Hobart Race she bettered her 1968 elapsed time by 11 hours and, until the breeze lightened off down the Tasmanian East Coast, looked a chance for another overall handicap win.
