Average guest age 21-35 years. Winner of the 2001 and 2004 Whitsunday Fun Race. British Defender is one of a few vessels in the Whitsundays to use Spinnakers, which are the large colourful balloon shaped sail at the front of the boat, often seen of TV on downwind legs. Winner of the 2001 Whitsunday Fun Race British Defender is a sloop design, 83ft in length, built of Carbon Fibre with a huge mast extending 115ft above the deck. British Defender has turned heads since the day the yacht was named by the Duke of Edinburgh on London's Thames River.
Today British Defender is still turning heads after a 3500 man hour refit during the 1st half of 2001, converting her into a purpose built Whitsunday Charter Maxi Yacht. Even after refit to a charter yacht, British Defender is still fast, taking Line Honours and 1st Place on Corrected Time in the August 2001 Mooloolaba to Airlie Beach Ocean Race, Queenslands longest Ocean Race at 510 miles.
Interior cabin area specifically designed for Whitsunday Charters, yet built using the latest light weight materials, such as Carbon Fibre to keep ultimate performance in mind.
Features include 2 dining tables, 3 bathrooms, single and double berths. All double berths have curtains for privacy. |

British Defender was raced by the British armed services during the 1989/90 World Race and it hasn't stopped since.
Skipper, Jair Kuyper, tacked out to sea and then into Whitehaven Beach for the night. Guests sat on top for the sunset and swapped stories and sang songs. |
