Profile
1One of a few yachts in the world to be legendary in its own time, Windward Passage was built in 1968 on the beach in the Bahamas. She has done all the world's great races, with distinction. Ten years ago she had a classic duel in the Hobart with Kialoa. Now under the ownership of Australian radio whizz kid Rod Muir, she must be the principal contender for line honours
