AFR Midnight Rambler
The 1998 Sydney Hobart Race winning combination of Ed Psaltis and Queenslander Bob Thomas are now campaigning a Farr 40. They plan to modify the boat post-Ingles Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race to have another crack at an overall win in the 60th anniversary Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
The sleek Farr 40 OD, formerly 'Valley Tram' from Brisbane, is a far cry from the boats the Bob Thomas usually skippers. As a tug driver out of Mackay he is usually pulling coal ships in and out of the huge Hay Point Coal Loader near Mackay.
