If you are after a maxi yacht sailing experience on a fast yacht that is cosy downstairs then 'Siska' is perfect. On Siska there may be some party nights. In May 2002 Siska had an interior makeover, including new bathrooms and new floor. SISKA IS LOOKING GREAT! |
|
RACE HISTORY It is estimated that Siska had sailed around 140,000 nautical miles from its launch until arrival in the Whitsunday Islands in December 1992. During this time Siska won two Sydney to Hobart Yacht Races along with circumnavigating the world twice.
HRH Prince Charles crewed on Siska when she set the fastest time defeating world champion Kioloa, and was
first overall at Cowes in the Queen Victoria Cup against 329
other entries.
Siska came second in the Fastnet Race having sailed the last 300 miles with a broken boom. Siska won the Parmelia Race from England to Perth, which celebrated the 150th anniversary of the foundation of Western Australia.
Siska has a myriad of winches and sailing gear and guests are encouraged to assist sail Siska, including hoisting and trimming sails, or taking the helm to steer her around the islands.
Siska's interior was custom built for Whitsunday Charters. This helps to make Siska one of the most comfortable Maxi Charter Yachts sailing the Whitsundays. Siska has ample head room throughout the yacht for our taller guests. Two dining tables provide plenty of space for guests to enjoy meals together. This saloon area also doubles as a comfortable sitting area. On deck there is ample space for guests to relax, and we have a boom awning for shade when we are anchored.
During her racing career Siska won races in AUSTRALIA, ENGLAND, FIJI, GERMANY, HAWAII, HONG KONG, NEW ZEALAND, & SOUTH AFRICA. At her peak, Siska held 21 World Racing Records.
=======================================
Hey Kerry,
just to let you know that my friends and I had a terrific time on Siska this
weekend. THanks for helping us book it and recomending that boat. The crew
of Jim, Mikka and Mel were terrific, really looked after us and a lot of
fun, if you could pass on our thanks to them to southern cross that would be
great. Also the gal at southern cross who checked us in was great too. All
round excelent and very enjoyable
Cheers
