Enid Whitsunday was launched in 1961 and meticulously restored in 2002/3, this beautiful John G Alden Ketch is Whitsundays sailing at its absolute best. Enid takes us back in time to the days when Australia's most famous sailing races were dominated not by technology and sponsorship, but rather beautiful timber boats designed with timeless, graceful lines.
Enid is well known within the established Australian yachting fraternity and has a long tradition of racing including 5 Sydney - Hobart races and 15 Brisbane - Gladstone races. In 1964, Enid sealed her place in Australian racing history when she came first over the line in the first ever Sydney - Mooloolaba race. For the last
few years, Enid has relived her glory days, competing against the other classic boats in the Whitsundays in the Derwent Hunter Classic. Every year Enid has stunned her competition, proving she is, without doubt, the fastest classic boat here.
