Short fuse turns heads everywhere she goes. She's vastly known around Geelong and Port Fairy. In the Past 4 years she has won PFYC blue water and Agg series. She has also taken line honours in festival of sails passage race and each race during the regatta in 2023 and 2024 in its division. Finishing strong on PHS in 2nd position.

Short fuse is a fast fun boat for club racing or coastal offshore racing. Incredibly competitive against much larger yachts. Like Sydney 38s and 40s. Not only is she fast in the light she also likes a bit of breeze thanks to her deep draft.

All drawings/plans of the modifications carried out by Radford are available.

Reason for selling is wanting to upgrade for offshore racing
