The oldest boat in the history of the Sydney Hobart yacht race, Maritimo Katwinchar, symbolizes resilience through significant restorations and modifications that honor its storied past.
"This is my 46th Sydney Hobart race and it's one I'll probably look back on with great fondness... Not too many people walk past this thing and don't admire it." - Michael Spies
Katwinchar's legacy continues as it returns for its third race attempt after modifications, including a new mast built by co-skipper Michael Spies.
Originally built in 1904 from brewery timber, Katwinchar’s journey reflects not just its construction, but the evolution of yacht racing and the dedication of its past owners.
