Love & War

This famous classic Oregon and Maple built boat launched for Peter Kurts in 1973, can count among her many victories winning the Tattersall Cup three times: 1974, 1978 and 2006 – joining Freya as the only yachts to win the race three times.  Her last win came after Peter Kurts’ son Simon loaned her to Lindsay May.  Simon last raced her south in 2019, placing 64^th overall for third in Division 7, with second in the Grand Veterans division, and before that, 2016 (15^th overall, third in Division 4 and second in the Corinthian division) and 2014 (seventh overall and second in Division 4, winning the 30 year Veterans and placing second in the 20 year Veterans).  Love & War was the favourite of all yachts owned and raced by the late Peter Kurts in Australia and at the 1975 Admiral’s Cup, and the only one kept by him.  L ove & War still has what it takes to win
