Profile
In her Rolex Sydney Hobart debut in 2005 this maxi with canting ballast twin foil (CBTF) took line honours in record time and won the Tattersall Cup – the only boat to take the trifecta since Rani in the first race in 1945. Wild Oats XI achieved an historic fourth consecutive line honours win in 2008, surpassing Morna’s record of three in a row achieved in the 1946-1948 races. Last year Wild Oats XI underwent extensive modifications to increase her overall length to 100ft. She finished second to Alfa Romeo in last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart and then made a rapid turn-around to make the start line for the Pittwater to Coffs Harbour race, where she took line honours.
