Australia, KA-5
Australia (KA-5) ~ MODERN
Australia (KA-5) is the only yacht throughout the history of the America’s cup to have challenged on two occasions. Her first challenge was in 1977 against Courageous (US-26) skippered by Ted Turner and her second in 1980, against Freedom (US-30) skippered by Dennis Connor. Designed by Bob Miller (Ben Lexcen) she was superbly built from aluminum by Steve Ward in 1977. Following an exhaustive refit throughout 2019 by Northshore Marine she now presents in excellent condition and an inspection is highly recommended. Find Out More
