Cadillac may not arrive at Kawau Race Week with a long list of recent results, but her credentials are clear before the first start gun fires.

The 32 foot yacht is a Beale 32, drawn by respected New Zealand designer Ray Beale, whose boats have built a reputation for punching above their length in local fleets. Owned by Grant and Iris Bartlett but entered into the Kawau Race Week by Dean Grice, Cadillac is at Kawau Race Week for only one thing, to win.
