Another running of this coming up soon.........if I recall right Caprice of Huon got badly shunted last year at the start of the first race and that was the end of their regatta trust it doesn't occur again.......

Still cannot believe how Caprice won the first 3 races of the 1965 Admirals Cup as a 13 year old boat, and then returned with Balandra and Mercedes III to win the 1967 event.........
