KER 11.3 REVIEW.

Such is the demand for this Jason Ker-design IRM racer that seven orders were placed on the strength of the drawings

Following the success of his designs such as Roaring Meg and Quokka V in last year's Commodore's Cup, much is expected of designer Jason Ker's new 11.3 IRM one design.

The first two 11.3s, Cracker and Michael White's On A High had their inaugural outing at the IR2000 Championship last weekend and still very fresh out of the box gave occasional glimpses of their potential. Cracker was under charter and only sailed two days, while On A High damaged her boom during an accidental gybe when a 27 knot squall passed by as they were on the way to the start of Saturday's racing. White's boat did not fully show her form until the final race yesterday when she finished five minutes ahead of the larger Farr 40s and two minutes behind the IC45s.
