Wild Thing 100

Wild Thing 100

 

Wild Thing 100 will be the newest 100 ft maxi to be launched when it makes its debut in this year’s race.  Owner Grant Wharrington has extended Stefan Racing, a Botin 80, which he sailed to fourth over the line in 2021 and 6th last year.  Under the extension, the yacht has been rebranded as Wild Thing 100.  Wharrington took Line Honours in 2003 with his previous Wild Thing, but the following year, whilst leading the fleet to Hobart, she lost her canting keel and capsized in Bass Strait.
