5.5's revival at RPAYC
27-04-2017
by Kaspar Stubenrauch, 27-04-2017
Pete McNamara reports on 5.5 AUS 55:
The yacht is repainted and renamed – now called ‘Tangalooma’, and is now living on the hard stand at Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club (RPAYC) at Newport.
RPAYC was traditionally the home of most 5.5’s in Sydney and there has been quite a strong revival effort recently to bring the ‘fives‘ back. We now have 6 x 5.5’s and will shortly have a seventh.
