Bacardi

 

Bacardi has rarely missed a Hobart since being launched in the 1970s, this year being her 20th start.  Best results include a 3rd overall on IRC in 2000 and a 2nd in division in the stormy 1998 Hobart Race.  Co-owners Graeme Ainley and John Williams will celebrate their 22nd trip south this year.
