Caprice of Huon is a Robert Clark design, launched from Port Cygnet on the

Huon River. She was built by Vivian Innes for the Tasmanian orchardist

Calvert family. Caprice of Huon has a famous racing history under skippers

Bill Northam, Gordon Ingate and Gordon Reynolds. Caprice is a 7 time

Admirals Cup team in 1965 and won 3 of the 4 races in the series. Caprice

returned to Cowes with Mercedes III and Balandra to win the 1967 Admirals

Cup. Caprice was extensively restored in 2000 by the current owner,

including new engine and mast, and enjoys an active schedule of cruising,

club races and classic yacht events from her home at the CYCA. In

immaculate condition, ready to continue adding to her rich history. Contact
