This Olsen 40 last pointed south in 2017, finishing 17th PHS. She is a stayer, and with current owner, Philip Bell, placed 10th PHS overall in the 2016 Rolex Sydney Hobart. In the lead-up to this year’s race, She finished PHS 10th in the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast race. She also won their division at 2018 Airlie Race Week. Formerly owned by Peter Rodgers racing in 17 Hobarts, She has undergone a few mods in her time. Prior to 2016, her last Hobart was 2013 when she won PHS and won Division 2. She also won PHS in the 2009 and 2012 races and was PHS fourth in the tough 2004 Hobart. Other Hobart results are (PHS unless otherwise stated): fourth (2011); seventh (2010); 14th (2008); fifth (2007); fourth (2006); 12th (2005); eighth (2002); seventh (2001); second (2000); retired from the 1998 race with broken gear and was 12th IMS Division E (1995); 20th IMS Division F (1994); 20th IMS overall (1993). Bell is looking forward to She’s 20th race to Hobart.
