This is the first Hobart start for another of the famous Swanson 36 class. As Wendy Two she finished 12^th overall in the 1978 West Coaster, and has as Sequel finished 10^th in the 1979 Melbourne Devonport Race and 5^th in the same race in 1980. Owner Graham Coutts will be on his fourth Hobart race as well as having raced many miles around Bass Strait and in the Pacific. She may find the opposition a little tough.
