She has just completed a four-year refit and is ready for the Ocean Global Race or Newport Bermuda! New rod rigging, chain plates, bottom, hull, and topside paint. New or re-certified safety gear including three life rafts. All she needs are new sails to set her free.


She finished third in the 1989/1990 Whitbread as a Sloop.  The first two overall that year with the winds were Ketches. She was re-figured by Farr as a Ketch and she flies.
