Spirit of Sydney is a 9-berth 60ft aluminium hulled yacht that was built for the 1986 BOC Challenge Race. She has been used for Antarctic sailing for every southern summer since 1994 and is skippered by Darrel Day.Spirit of Sydney
Spirit of Sydney was designed by Ben Lexcen and launched by the then Prime Minister of Australia, Bob Hawke in the euphoric era following Australia’s history breaking win of the America’s Cup with the Ben Lexcen designed Australia 2 and its famous winged keel. Ian Kiernan sailed Spirit solo around the world in the 1986 BOC Challenge and to his credit achieved 4th place against much lighter high tech yachts, probably aided by the fact that his “landrover of the sea” suffered no structural failures and is a well balanced ‘sweet’ yacht that handles well under auto pilot.
