Comanche 100.

- Comanche, designed by Guillaume Verdier, and winner of the John H. Illingworth Trophy, for being the first across the finish line at Hobart. Illingworth was the creator of the Sydney-Hobart Ocean Race, which was established in 1945. He also won that race on Rani. As far as you can get from the 100-footer beast.



Note:  I worked for John Illingworth in the mid-sixties. You can check on this Blog: Mentors.
