Profile
Australia’s newest and fastest maxi yacht, if not the fastest in the world, Windward Passage II made a sensational racing debut at the 1988 Kenwood Cup in Hawaii, taking line honors in every race and winner of Class A, including the classic Round the State Race. Later, this super hi-tech 80-footer finished second in the St Francis Yacht Club’s Big Boat Series in San Francisco, a result that did not reflect the Passage’s ocean racing ability. Odds-on favourite for line honors.
