Profile
Believed to be the only yacht to have finished a Sydney-Hobart race under jury rig — in the 1986 race she sailed across Storm Bay and up the Derwent with sails set on a broken mast that hung like a broken wing over the side. In 1987, however, Madman’s Woodyard retired early. In light to moderate running conditions she could turn in a good race as she certainly has the pedigree.
