Profile
The Ropers say they are starting Hobart number 13 having started and finished race 12. No mean feat. They will sail with an experienced crew who have more than 40 Hobarts between them. Included in the crew this year are their 2 sons Ashley 11 and Cameron only 8 years old. Natelle II is still capable of winning races, and was well placed in the '92 Hobart when she was becalmed for five hours.
