Notes

Southern Cross IV, Antares 2 & Arunga III - same boat KA-31 - 04.04.2008 by Matti Muoniovaara
This is again one excample of Luders design excellence. Hull #1086 and L5.5 #57. Definitely the best boat of the seventies. It won the Scandinavian Gold Cup 1975, 1978, 1980 and World Championship 1974, 1975, 1977, 1978, 1979.
Norman Booth had it 1973-74, Mick Morris 1975 and Frank Tolhurst 76-80
