There have
been three microyachts of note
|
|
|
SEA EGG - 1973 This 12ft sloop was sailed by
John Riding, attempting an E-W crossing. Although he had already
sailed half way around the world in the Sea Egg, the Tasman managed
to get the better of John Riding and he was eventually declared lost
at sea. Click here for more info etc.

G'DAY 88 - 1988 Designed, built and sailed by
Ashley Coulston, this 8ft yacht is the smallest ever to sail the
Tasman. The initial W-E crossing ended with the yacht being abandoned,
but it was recovered several months later and refurbished in order
to complete a successful E-W crossing. Click here for
more info.
|
| SWIRLY WORLD - 1994 Kiwi rock star Andrew Fagan used
this 17ft 6in yacht to make a double crossing of the Tasman. The E-W leg
was done in 1994 as part of an organised Trans-Tasman race,
the W-E leg occurring several months later. Click here for more info.
