Luna Sea
James Cameron has purchased the 1998 winner, AFR Midnight Rambler, and renamed her Luna Sea. Originally, this was the third of Bruce Taylor's Chutzpah's, which he sold to Ed Psaltis and Bob Thomas when he launched Chutzpah No. 4. Despite her diminutive 35ft, Luna Sea has proved she has the strength to cope with anything. Psaltis and Thomas went on to do three more Hobarts with the little boat, but never repeated their win with her. To prepare for the race ahead, Cameron has been racing locally at Drummoyne and in the CYCA's Blue Water Pointscore, where he has so far scored a pair of 11th places
