Wyuna

 

Formerly Known as Kraken, the Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600 has competed in the RSHYR before under that name.  From Perth, Wyuna is one of the ocean-racing fleet which competes in the Western Australian waters from Albany to Exmouth.  Wyuna’s crew consist of a group of seven friends, representing both the Royal Perth Yacht Club and Fremantle Sailing Club with a range of youth and experience sailors onboard.  Skipper Hilary Arthure will be competing in her third RSHYR, whilst Antun Janekovich, a former ILCA Junior WA State Champion will be competing in her first RSHYR.  The efforts to get Wyuna across from Perth have been immense and unrelenting, however has been a bucket list event for the team.  Over the last season, she placed 1st on IRC in the Fremantle to Exmouth Race in May 2023 as well as 1st in the Pot of Gold Weekend in February 2023.  The team is extremely excited for the event as preparations continue towards Boxing Day.
