Rush last headed south in 2015 and finished 24^th overall to win Division 2, a great result for John Paterson and his crew from Victoria. Prior to that, the Farr 45 finished the Hobart in 2012 in 49^th overall, but consequently retired from the 2013 race when a crew member broke his leg in gale force winds off the Tasmanian coast. Rush also contested the 2005 (30^th overall), ‘06 (45^th), ‘07 (19^th), ‘08 (23^rd) and ‘09 (18^th) Hobarts. Rush is a regular in Victorian events and also contests other major regattas on the eastern seaboard. Rush was primarily created to compete on the International 45 foot circuit.
