Profile

A member of the Tasmanian Southern Cross Team in 1985, Thumbs Up did not perform to expectations, and then during the Hobart Race she broke her boom forcing early retirement. If the crew don't want to work their fingers to the bone in 1986 they will need to work hard on the yacht and get in some solid crew training.
