A 54-foot aluminum racing yacht, originally built in Perth in the mid-1980s, sits on a mooring in Wangi Wangi, New South Wales, as a long-term refit project.2:54 The vessel previously competed in the Sydney Hobart and Melbourne Osaka races before a previous owner converted it into a cruiser.3:30 This conversion included a new doghouse, standing and running rigging, Selden gear, and solar arrays.3:58 Despite the extensive exterior upgrades, the interior remains unfinished and cluttered with debris.4:06 The electronics suite features Raymarine equipment that is over a decade old and unused.6:23 The current layout provides only a single v-berth for sleeping, with undersized quarter berths and a poorly finished interior cabin.8:32 While the aluminum hull and structural chain plates remain in excellent condition, the sails have suffered significant UV damage from prolonged exposure on the mast.10:12 The project requires a complete interior redesign and the replacement of outdated navigation systems to become a functional cruising boat.13:48
