Previous Owners The original owner was a G. Fornaro of Swanbourne, WA. Keith Turner owned her during the 1970s into the early 80s and sold her in early 1983.  We think she was then bought by John Mott and renamed Larkspur.  Toby Darvell listed as owner in 1999.
Previous Names Hellfire is her original name

About the Owners

The S&S34 Association has no contact details for this yacht.  If you have any information please email the Webmaster

From Thomas Mc Henry(ret) in 2014, who crewed on her:

We were part of the fleet sailing out of Royal Perth Yacht Club.  Keith was a very committed sailor and competed in many if not all offshore races from Fremantle. The period I was involved was from the early 70’s to 80’s. I believe he may have sold the yacht just prior to the America’s Cup in 1983. One thing I am certain of is he marks that down as his deepest regret.  Keith is still on the water down Mandurah way but is content to go crabbing in his retirement.
