Her racing career started in 1956 with "Kiel week", the Round Skagen and numerous regattas in the Baltic and North seas. In 1960 she took part in the New York - Bermuda race followed by the Transatlantic Bermuda - Skagen Race finishing third after ONDINE and BARLOVENTO and ahead of ESCAPADE and DRUMBEAT.

As a training yacht she participated with some success in numerous regattas.
