Revenge finished a fine 32nd overall in last year's record fleet, her only previous Hobart start. The year before she finished 16th in the West Coaster. A production three-quarter tonner a design by Dick Carter and built by Mariner, she is sure to give a top performance along with her sister ship, Ghost Too, if it is a little boat race. It will be owner Green's third Hobart, although he has competed in all major races out of Victoria.
