Profile
The former 1973 British Southern Cross Cup boat Superstar, Mirrabooka will be starting in her seventh successive Hobart race. She finished a fine 3rd in the 1975 race but will be struggling to equal that performance this year. Her highly experienced crew could surprise, especially with a new rig which was only put in a month ago.
