Wild Oats XI

Wild Oats XI is a 98ft long, Reichel/Pugh designed CBTF super maxi. She scored a historic 'triple crown' victory in the 2005 Rolex Sydney-Hobart race: line honours, the race record, and overall IRC handicap honours. McConaghy Boats set their own record with this yacht, completing construction in less than ten months so she would be ready for the Hobart. In 2007 Wild Oats XI performed brilliantly to secure her third consecutive Rolex Sydney - Hobart line honours victory.
