Piccolo must be one of the favourites, and she is in top form with a fine 2nd in this year's Montague Island Race. Her owner, John Pickles and veteran crewmember Albert Mitchell, know what winning is all about, having won the 1976 race aboard the former Piccolo. This boat is the previous Hecate designed by Bruce Farr and which represented Australia in the 1977 One Ton Cup. She will be driven to the limit.
