Launched: Bull 12000
The Bull 12000 was designed to race two handed in the Melbourne/Osaka race. The Bull 12000 featured the Bull sprit design and this was to be used to great advantage sailing shorthanded.
Two Bull 12000s were built by Hart Marine in Melbourne. In its first offshore race the 2 Bull 12000s finished first and second in the 1998 Melbourne/Hobart race, breaking the record along the way. During the 1999 Melbourne/Osaka race the Mal Hart sailed Longitude unfortunately retired after breaking the boom in a violent storm in the Tasman Sea. One other yacht was sunk and 30% of the fleet retired.
The Bull 12000 Medicine Man has gone on to win many local events and is an exciting boat to sail. Following on from the Bull 12000, the Young 40 was developed from the Bull 12000 for French man Bernard Dechoux and is currently under construction in France.
