Profile

One of the smallest yachts in the fleet, this little 29 footer is lining up for its third race to Hobart, the first back in 1977, the second last year. In fact skipper Bill Wright and his brother 'Tubby' claim they won the Bicentenary race as Mulberry finished on New Year's Day, to a great reception after going to the aid of Sea Eagle which had an ill crew member on board, near Tasman Island.
