Profile

Hustler is a chined plywood construction designed by John pencer whose boats are very fast off the wind. Hustler is no exception, best ever performance was in 1973 Montague Island Race beating some larger boats home in a race that became a running and reaching battle. Unsuited to the IOR handicap system, Hustler usually finds the Hobart race a poor hunting ground, but keeps coming back.
