With Team Australia flaming out of the America’s Cup with a whimper, the Oatley family needed a new look for the winged AC45 they picked up along the way. And once they painted it up right, they realized they’d finally gotten a Wild Oats that’s significantly faster than the R/P 100 that’s been winning the Hobart for a decade…and for about 5% of what they’ve spent on the big one!
Pic thanks to SA’er ‘wildboats’ from the 45s launch at the upscale Hamilton Island Race Week. Not the latest or greatest tech or the fastest cat out there, but it’s certainly got sex appeal…
