First Sydney-Hobart race for this spectacularly fast downwind flyer which in just one year of racing has taken line honours in the Sydney to Gold Coast, Brisbane to Gladstone and Pittwater to Coffs Harbour races. This will be the first race southward for Bobsled, with the owners having the boat specially measured to compete under the IMS handicapping category. Her chance could come in a hard downwind race when she should surf her way to Hobart.
