Welcome to the Windward II Homepage

Windward II was built in Hobart in 1929 of the finest Australian timbers. She measures 44 ft on the deck and displaces 13 tonnes.

Windward II spent most of her time on Sydney harbour. She raced with distinction during the 1930's and 40's winning several major championships in the hands of businessman J M Hardie before advances in yacht design reduced her ability to compete.

After spending time in Brisbane, she came to Melbourne in 1990 where she races against classic yachts of her vintage and undertakes corporate charters. To arrange a sail on Windward II, please contact James Woods on 03 8611 2610 / jwoods@ecollect.com.au or talk to your eCollect account manager.

Windward II was extensively restored in 2006 following a collision on the racecourse.
