Willow

 

This Volvo 70, originally designed and built for the 2008/09 edition of the round the world ocean race was purchased by Jim Cooney and Samantha Grant in 2016 and finished 5th over the line last year.  Cooney has previously won Line Honours twice, as owner of Comanche in 2017 and 2019 and is also the current race record holder.  If it is a traditional hard Hobart, Willow could be in a good position in both Line Honours and overall divisions.
