Profile

This great little performer has won the Melbourne Hobart Race on corrected time for the past three years, but under new ownership she may find the competition a little tough if she expects to emulate that feat. Designed by Bruce Farr, Hot Prospect is a sister ship to the 1976 race winner, Piccolo. She will prefer fresher conditions.
