David Hobbs mainly races Quantock in club races and finished third in RPAYC’s 2022 Bird Island Race. She placed 31^st in the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and 20^th in the Flinders Islet Race. This modified Elliott 13 is the former Valheru which raced out of Hobart and contested ten Sydney Hobarts between 1995 and 2010. Her best result with then owner, Anthony Lyall, was 10^th under IRC in 2001 (when IMS still decided the winner) and scored 15^th in the tough 1998 race. In 2001, the yacht was optimised by Fred Barrett to improve performance. She retired from the 2002 Rolex Sydney Hobart following a collision just after the start.
