50ft Fred Shepherd yawl Amokura - Paul Moxon has made it to the Fastnet Rock! Amokura was built in Moody’s Yard up the Hamble River in 1939 but now calls Dartmouth Devon her home. The 50ft Fredrick Shepherd yawl competed in the 1959 Fastnet Race and in the 2019 edition but completed neither. In 2021, Amokura finally crossed the finish line for the race she was built for. At 84 years old Amokura is one of the oldest boats in this year’s race and is fully crewed this year. #rolexfastnetrace #rorcracing #ircrating
David Payne of the Australian National Maritime Museum gives us some more inspiration for Australian Sailing Hall of Fame nominations. Today he shows us around Taipan, the 18 foot skiff designed and raced by Bob Miller. Miller, who was later known as Ben Lexcen, used many of the design principles seen in Taipan on the successful Australia II. Make sure you get your Australian Sailing Hall of Fame nominations in before Friday 16 June 👉🏻 http://www.sailing.org.au/australian-sailing-hall-fame/
