This radical, light displacement “pocket” maxi made her ocean racing debut in last year’s Hobart race but problems with her rig forced the crew to finish under reefed sails and dropped back from third to cross the line seventh. Since then, however, Hammer has won on handicap the Bicentennial Tall Ships Race from Hobart to Sydney, and taking line honours in the Brisbane to Gladstone and Sydney to Gold Coast Races. Bound to be one of the front runners.
