Rush

 

Built to compete on the international 45’ circuit circa 1997, Rush has contested most of the major Victorian races and regattas and is returning for her third Rolex Sydney Hobart with a Victorian crew that is largely unchanged from last year.  Owners and father and son, Ian and John Paterson, are hoping to improve on last year’s result.
