Recently purchased by Jonathan Stone, this 34-footer from Melbourne took out overall first place under the IOR handicap system in the rugged 1988 Sydney Hobart, then Victoria’s second only overall win in the ocean racing classic. One of the smallest boats to win the 628 nautical mile race returned after 18 years to contest the 2006 Rolex Sydney Hobart under different owners.
