Krakatoa

Krakatoa

 

One of the smaller entries, this Young 31 was purpose built for last year’s Sydney Hobart. Owner/skipper Rod Skellet achieved notable results with his previous boat Wild Bull, Australian Super 30 Champion in 1998, 1999 and 2001, and has performed well with Krakatoa including a win in the Pittwater to Port Stephens JOG Nationals.
