Canute

Canute

 

Peter Horn debuted his brand new Mark Mills designed Canute at Audi Victoria Week in 2010 and made an immediate impression, winning Division 2 of the IRC Series. The yacht ultimately finished third in Audi IRC Championship that same year to Loki and Aroona after finishing sixth at the Sydney Harbour Regatta and third at the final Championship event, Audi Hamilton Island Race Week.  

Nothing has been heard of the Australian boat since. She is on the comeback trail under the leadership of Mitchell Miller, who is normally at the helm of his Adams 10 and who will skipper the yacht in its first ever race to Hobart. Canute could be the dark horse of the fleet. In the short time she spent on the race track, she delivered the goods and had fellow competitors talking.
