Frantic’s last Hobart was 2023 where she finished 36^th overall. Owned by former Wallaby player, Michael Martin, Frantic is one of the older TP52s and she loves a long ocean race, starting with a win in the 2013 Gosford-Lord Howe Island race. In 2018, Martin claimed Line Honours and smashed the record in the revived Sydney Noumea Race, in 4days 2hrs 23mins 34secs, (taking 1:19:12 off Brindabella’s 1991 record) and won the RPAYC’s inaugural Sydney to Auckland Ocean Race in 2023.

In 2016, Martin relinquished the helm so the first Korean team to sail the race could compete, renaming her Sonic and they enjoyed it so much, the yacht raced for Korea again in 2017. Geoff Hill, of Antipodes fame, was the yacht’s (known as Strewth) first owner.
