Profile

A classic One Ton design of her time by Sparkman Stephens, Mark Twain has performed with credit in her sailing career. She makes a return to the Hobart lineup after competing in the West Coaster last year, where she finished fifth. With current design trends going towards the stripped out light boats, Mark Twain cannot hope to match the speed of modern One Tonners but this race should give the crew some experience.
