Profile

This big Bruce Farr design is back for her third Hobart classic. She had the dubious honour of finishing last on corrected time in 1978 after being penalised 50% as a result of a protest. Last year she was 109th overall and 35th across the line. She has begun this season well with a fine 3rd in the Queenscliff to Apollo Bay race, and if hard running conditions prevail in the Hobart, she could easily improve on her past two races as well as giving the crew a comfortable ride.
