Wonderland
Wonderland, a dark blue cruiser/racer, was purchased by Rebecca Connor in September 2017 from Yeppoon in Queensland, and now lives in Newcastle where Connor has been racing her. In the 2019 Rolex Sydney Hobart, Connor sailed the Beneteau Oceanis 473 to PHS 25th overall. It was both her and the boat’s first tilt at the race and Connor will be targeting a better result this year. The design is one of the most outstanding productions yachts of all-time and one of Beneteau’s most successful models. Wonderland is classic, yet strong. She was ahead of her time, with a larger stern and huge cockpit and a fast ocean going hull.
