After appearing doomed, stuck in the sand on a remote Tasmanian beach with no road access, the Sydney to Hobart yacht Huntress has been refloated and is licking its wounds in port — with its crew vowing to repair it to its 'former glory'.
abc.net.au/news/huntress-salvaged-sydney-to-hobart-yacht-to-be-repaired/101839518The owners of a vessel which had to be abandoned during the Sydney to Hobart yacht race and salvaged from a remote beach say it is a "huge relief" to have the boat safely in harbour, days after it looked doomed.
Its location, on Christmas Beach on truwana/Cape Barren Island, off Tasmania''s north-east coast, added a degree of difficulty to the prospect of refloating the boat, as there was no road access. Despite the challenges, Huntress was refloated on Sunday and is now "safely tied up in the Tamar", its crew said.
