Profile

Despite her small size, this yacht logged many miles with two Hobarts, a Melbourne Hobart, Brisbane Noumea, Sydney Mooloolaba, and others. She was 7th in the 1981 Hobart, and Carter half tonner's have always done well in the race. Her sister ship, Wheelbarrow was 2nd overall in 1979, just over 3 minutes behind the winner. If the weather suits small boats, Hotshot should be right up there.
