Morning Hustler is one of the great S&S 34 class, rugged performers in a breeze, and a sister ship to the 1969 winner Morning Cloud. She finished 10th overall and 2nd in division in 1979 and since then has performed creditably in local South Australian races. Her 2nd overall in the 1981 Neptune Island Race and 1st overall 1981 Port Lincoln Race have been fine efforts, but she may find these difficult to repeat in this years Hobart. She should be in the top half of her division, especially in tough weather.
