Summary

[edit]
Description
English: MORNA was designed by William Fife III and built for Sir Alexander MacCormick in 1913. (MacCormick also owned ADA.) MORNA was later owned by Frank Packer and Sir Claude Plowman.

Plowman skippered MORNA to three successive 'first across the line' wins at the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race from 1946-1948. Under new owners, the Livingston brothers, and a new name KURREWA IV, the vessel was first across the line four more times for a total of seven line honours between 1946 and 1960.
