Stormy Petrel

Stormy Petrel

 

Stormy Petrel won the World One Ton Cup for Australia in 1971. Since that time she has won many major races for various owners and is currently vying for a 2nd or 3rd in the CYCA’s Blue Water Championship and Tasman Performance Series with this race the closing event.

O’Shea bought Stormy Petrel in 2001 and has painstakingly restored her to her former glory. Finished 4th in division in the 2005 Rolex Sydney Hobart.
