It does indeed.
'The Sled' is actually not doing Hobart this year, I believe she's
racing North instead but many of her crew will go south in other
yachts.
Built as a downwind flyer, hence the Bobsled name, when she was
launched she had a small problem with her keel wich caused the entire
boat to literally buzz when surfing over 25kts....very uncomfortable.
Exciting as that sounds, I'm too big a coward to ever consider the Hobart,
not that anyone would ever ask me to crew it. But it would be fun to
experience 25kts. on a monohull. Just once.
