Profile

A beautifully built Huon pine sloop from Hobart, designed by McGruer, she will be competing in her second Hobart race. The first was 1979 when she sailed a great race placing 3rd in Division B. Launched in 1964, she is quite capable of repeating that result with a healthy age allowance and a competent crew under skipper 'Wobbler' Read. She has won the Bruny Island Race and has had several placings in Maria Island Races. A win might surprise, but would make a taxi hard to find in old Hobart Town.
