Maritimo's Bill Barry-Cotter has once again demonstrated his passion and dedication to all forms of boating.

He has had his team at Maritimo lovingly restore the famous Maritimo Katwinchar, bringing it back into racing.

This small yacht, a Watney Circa 1904, is a historical vessel that combines vintage aesthetics with modern racing capabilities. Not only does this boat stand out for its unique design, but it also has a storied past, adding a historical dimension to the recent Noakes Sydney to Gold Coast race. With 120 years of history, the yacht sailed its most recent Rolex Sydney Hobart in 2019 for the 75th edition, winning the Grand Veterans division. Katwinchar first raced in the Sydney Hobart in 1951.

Under the leadership of Sailing Master Michael Spies, Maritimo Katwinchar returns to offshore racing, sailing the race double-handed with Peter Vaiciurgis. The yacht has just completed the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast race this week, marking its first outing in preparation for the 2024 Rolex Sydney Hobart in December.
