The former A9-291
in RNZAF markings as NZ4206 at Edinburgh, SA on 16 November 1986 for
the Fincastle Trophy competition. Note that the aircraft number on the
nose has been crudely prefixed with the letters "KZ". This
refers to the America's Cup challenger elimination rounds which were
sailed in waters off Fremantle in January/February 1987. New Zealand
was represented by the yacht KZ7 which defeated all the other challengers
except the USA.
