Roller Coaster is a production S&S 37 launched in 1983. She skated pretty well to a third in division in the hard 1984 Race, which proves that skipper and crew can take the hard stuff. It has been said that any boat from Tasmania has always an advantage over the rest of the fleet because, apart from local knowledge, Tasmanian boats are on the leg home once the starting gun goes, and whatever the motive – wife, girlfriend, or drink – they always seem to sail their boats quicker.
