Aurora

 

Aurora has now completed the last 10 Hobarts. With good crew experience on board, including the husband and wife team of Jim (sailing in his 21st Hobart race) and Mary Holley (sailing in her 12th  Hobart race)  this one-off Farr 40 is in a strong position to equal or better her 2007 results. This Lake Macquarie yacht achieved its best results in the two heavy weather Hobarts of 1998 and 1999, where she finished 2nd and 3rd in division respectively.
