Ray White Koomooloo

Ray White Koomooloo

 

A classic timber ocean racing yacht of the late 1960s, Koomooloo won the 1968 Sydney Hobart on corrected time and twice represented Australia at the Admiral’s Cup.  After being painstakingly restored to her best, Koomooloo made her ocean racing comeback in last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart but retired from the race in the heavy conditions.  Built in 1968, she is the oldest boat in the fleet and one of four Queensland entries.
