This will be the fourth Rolex Sydney Hobart for Toecutter which ranks with Tow Truck and the Mount Gay 30 Toll Shipping Prion as the three smallest boats in the race.

In the 2003 race Toecutter finished 2nd on IRC overall results but last year Hick, the designer of his boat, withdrew in the tough conditions.  Toecutter continues to be a giant-killer on Port Phillip, winning AMS Division A and placing 2nd in IRC Division A of the ORCV’s winter series.
