But won a lot of IOR races in original configuration.", "I sailed Predator in an Adelaide to Port Lincoln race quite a few years ago, pretty average boat at that stage I thought the Zulu's were from same designer (Kell Steinman) but were different. A wooden plug was built for those. Many years later it was made into a finished yacht.", "Interesting info. That Zulu tribe is interesting as well. I understand it was the owner of the shipyard that wanted to make a team-building around a tribe name. But why Zulu when based in Australia?", "he was enamoured with the Zulu 1/2 tonner in the advert.
