Report from Cameron Thorpe, HARD LABOUR 2010 was the 25th Farr 1020 Nationals. With 10 entries, including a crew from Wellington, it looked like there would be some great racing. Favourites included multiple past champion Grant Turnbull returning to the class and skippering Rainbow IV, defending champ Phil Yuill back with his team on Max Headroom, Joe Brownlee’s Shokran with Alan Gywer as tactician hoping to go one better than previous bests of 2nd as well as Steve Barton’s Hard Labour as the class benchmark and keen to avenge their narrow loss in 2009.  Read the full report here
