Old faithful, Mark Twain is clocking up her 17th Sydney Hobart and has taken lots of prizes along the way including 2nd in Division in '86, '88 and '90 and 3rd in '91 and '93. In 1994 she finished 2nd under IMS and 1st Arbitrary in the Gosford Lord Howe Island Race. One of the reliable Sparkman and Stephens 'stayers', Mark Twain is currently racing in Sydney to once again prepare for her trip south.
