The Sting is a Kaufman one tonner launched in 1976 and raced by Chris Bouzaid in the 1977 National One Ton Championships, where she finished 2nd. She has never figured highly in Sydney Hobart races (55th in 1979, 67th in 1982), and we think that another change of ownership is not going to mean major improvement. Nothing is known of her current form, but her near sister Pryority has a good past.
