This 38ft light displacement downwind flyer offended the eye of Alfred Loomis from 'Yachting' magazine who wore:<br>'Truca II' is a light-displacement box, 38ft OA. In overall length, only four boats in the entire fleet were shorter, but like an unsuccessful candidate for a beauty prize, Trcua was big in all the wrong places and rated 6th from top in Class D. Be that as it may, this Argentine sloop placed second in class and fleet, highlighting a joint design record (no previous designer had ever had three prize-winning yachts in the race) that has not been approached, let alone bettered by any overseas entries.'<br>PHOTO CREDIT: Frers Archive/PPL<br>Tel: +44 (0)1243 555561 E.mail: ppl@mistral.co.uk Web: www.pplmedia.com
