"Lasca Crosses the Tasman"

Lasca's
new skipper,
Michael Smith
found the trip exceedingly easy and thought the yacht
handled the conditions perfectly.
"When we arrived off Frazer Island, a 30-40 knot
Southerly came up and we were surfing up the coast
with a top speed of 19.5 knots. The yacht never felt
better",
commented Smith. Her previous skipper achieved an
exciting 22.5
knots while two
sail reaching down the New Zealand coastline late
last year. He was on autopilot at the time and
decided that the yacht was handling the conditions so
well that he'd just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Dibley Marine are working closely with Commander Yachts on a number of larger projects including the Commander 80 and the Commander 110. Both use the same formula of 'luxurious accommodation and high performance sailing' that was achieved with the Commander 66.
