Built to compete on the International 45’ circuit, circa 1997, Rush has contested most of the major Victorian offshore races and regattas and is returning for her fifth Rolex Sydney Hobart with much the same crew as the last couple of races.  Rush placed 5th in IRC Division 2 in the Rolex Sydney Hobart 2008.
