Gunshot

 

Gunshot is a canting keeled Elliott 52. Under her former name Hydroflow, she performed well but ran aground after breaking her moorings. She has since been restored and continues to compete in the CYCA’s offshore races.  New owner, David Walsh, won the 1982 Hobart on Scallywag, on which they also won the Sydney Mooloolaba race, Short Ocean Pointscore and CYCA Blue Water Pointscore. David Walsh says they are looking forward to building a race-winning crew and mixing in at the front end of the fleet in the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart.
