Ocean Skins

 

Ocean Skins is a timber-hulled sistership to the first Wild Thing, which Grant Wharington sailed to many successes.  This is the first year of campaigning the boat by her present owner and crew and as a qualifying race they competed in the Melbourne to Stanley Race across Bass Strait, placing 5th in the PHD division.  This year they have also sailed in the Sydney Gold Coast and Southport Mackay races.
