Built in Sydney, this Open 60 began its life as the Whitbread 60 Elle Racing before the hull was cut in half, long ways, and widened to suit an Open 60 hull. Its current Victorian owner has just completed a heavy programme including the Melbourne-Vanuatu, Vanuatu – Mackay and Hamilton Island Race Week. Gusto 1 is mostly race two handed but will carry the minimum crew of six for its first Rolex Sydney Hobart.
