While this is the first Hobart for Brindabella, this custom designed Farr 62 has represented Australia in the China Sea Series in Hong Kong and sailed in the Kenwood Cup in Hawaii, unfortunately losing her mast in the third race. Although Brindabella is still virtually untried, she has shown good turns of speed and will be one of the front-runners to Hobart. Owner George Snow previously raced Doctor Who with success.
