Another Duchess is an exciting, fast day sailor, perfect for afternoon or twilight racing, or relaxing time on the water with family.
‘Another Duchess’ was built for the Oatley family (Wild Oats). The owner did a major refit (2021-2022) after purchasing the boat, and in 2022 took her to Hamilton Island race week. This year the boat has competed in the RPEYC Wednesday afternoon series and the CYCA Winter series with good success, and a lot of fun had by all! ‘Another Duchess’ is a performance yacht that can be easily sailed by just a few crew, or pushed hard in a more serious racing series. She is totally turn-key and ready to win races!
The vessel has been extensively upgraded.
