A stock Cavalier 32 cruiser/racer by New Zealander Bob Salthouse, Halcyon has not previously been raced, and her crew are new to the Sydney-Hobart track. Hailing from Port Dalrymple Yacht Club, she will have a good following in Northern Tasmania. Down there they know what the weather is, so one would expect them to do well amongst the small boats if it comes in fresh.
