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.

Oh come on... 25kts??? That's a normal summer day out here.

Try reading Oz's post again, you imbecile.
