If you're doing the Hobart in a half tonner you'd be happy aboard a Currawong 30. These chunky Peter Joubert designed boats have an excellent record that includes Zeus II's win in 1981. Saltpeta herself finished 8th that year and she has also notched up a 3rd and 7th in the Montagu Island Race. Owner Peter Hinton has a lot of ocean racing experience and he'll be hanging in there tenaciously again this year.
