The Yachts

Wild Wave

 

An interesting yacht as it took line honours in the 1853 Sydney - Hobart, only to be disqualified over a start line infringement. Designer Jock Muir was on board and apparently all were upset. Wild Wave contested the '60 Hobart and finished 19th overall. Ian and Donna Smith purchased the yacht four months ago to do some extensive cruising and say the yacht is in immaculate condition, having had a Huon pine fitout below decks.
