MRV

This is the last of the Margaret Rintoul’s built for Stan Edwards, a sailing figure of note during the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, who competed for Australia and internationally with previous Rintouls.  This one has competed in the Pittwater to Lord Howe and Pittwater to Coffs races, amongst her expansive repertoire with Edwards, and then with Graham Buckeridge and partners, who purchased it in 2007.   Melbourne sailor Damien King owns the yacht now, with its composite hull of epoxy/Kevlar over balsa core, a keel and rudder developed from America's Cup technology and a carbon fibre mast.  During the ‘90s, King campaigned in the Olympic 470 class.  Over recent years, King now sails in the Etchells fleet, with an Australasian title and top three Etchells Worlds results.
