History
Built in Melbourne by Jago Yachts.
She was commissioned by Ron Elliot from Mellbourn, Australia and is designed by Bruce Farr. When it was ordered, it was optimized for the 1989 Admiral's Cup in England.
This means that thid yacht is a little smaller than many other 1-tons from the same time and this is because it was optimized for slightly "harder" wind forces.
During the Admiral's cup she was the best among all 1-tons, unfortunately it was not enough for Australia team to win the whole cup.
In 1989/90 the boat she was bought by the Swedish America's Cup project. The boat was then renamed Entertainer. They sailed OTC in Marstrand in 1990 and ended in 5 or 6 overall.
The boat's original name is Joint Venture and it is built in Australia and when the boat was built the budget was close to unlimited.
In 1997, the boat was "optimized" for the IMS rule, when they rebuilt the keel and filled in the IOR bulge on the stern and took approx. 600-700 kg of lead out of the boat.
The sister yacht is BRAVA.
