Veteran South Australian yachtsman Josko Grubic has sailed three times around the world and in 23 Sydney Hobart races, in Anaconda I, Adria and in his ketch rigged maxi Anaconda II, which this year will be sailing its 12th race to Hobart. Although the largest yacht in the fleet, she is no match for modern big boats. Nevertheless, many yachtsmen had their first taste of long ocean racing on her decks.
