Boambillee
"Boambillee" is starting this year in her second Hobart race. Designed by Sparkman and Stephens and built by Bill Barnett of Sydney she is every bit of a thoroughbred and has been battling with "Moonbird" for One Ton Cup honours throughout the season. Her place in the middle of the fleet last year is no indication of her performance as she was virtually untried. She can be expected to give both local and overseas One Ton Cuppers a run for their money
