Elizabeth breaks an all male monopoly! Hoping to break the all-male monopoly of the famous Sydney-Hobart yacht race next month is attractive, 22 year old Elizabeth Shaw, daughter of a consulting engineer of Bosham, near Chichester.

And with her participation in three Fastnet races, she has as much racing experience as any man, and she has done literally thousands of miles of cruising. Attractive, 22 year old Elizabeth Shaw in her "wheelway' yacht, all her home made sails bear her name.
