Wahoo

 

Owners Brian and Pamela Emerson have spent most of this year modifying and strengthening their cruiser racer for her second Hobart Race and beyond. The boat fought hard to finish 3rd in Division last year, and Brian is hoping for an equal or better result with key crewmembers Bill Ratcliff, Barry Simpson and Phil Taylor having vital input.
