Steinlager 2: On board Sir Peter Blake’s refitted Whitbread champion

• August 6, 2019

Steinlager 2 was famously skippered by the late Sir Peter Blake to win the 1989/90 Whitbread Round the World Race, and is now owned by the New Zealand Sailing Trust. Nigel Sharp steps on board

In 22 May 1990, Steinlager 2 – skippered by Peter Blake and crewed by 14 fellow New Zealanders – crossed the finish line off Southampton to win the fifth Whitbread Round the World Race , with an overall time almost a day and a half quicker than the next boat.

Having dominated the race from beginning to end, Steinlager was first to finish and the winner on corrected time of all six legs: an unprecedented and unsurpassed feat in Whitbread/Volvo history. Twenty-three boats took part in that race. Whereas in the early Whitbread years many competitors considered it more of an adventure than a race, by the fifth edition they were taking it very seriously indeed.

Steinlager 2 was designed by Bruce Farr with significant input from Blake, who was able to draw on his own experience having taken part in all four previous Whitbread races. Farr initially produced a ‘base’ design following tank testing at the Wolfson Unit, the costs of which were shared between four syndicates.

Four designs were then developed to suit the different needs of each syndicate to create Steinlager 2 , Fisher & Paykel (another Kiwi entry, skippered by Grant Dalton), The Card and Merit .

It was initially intended that they would all be sloop rigged but, as this race would include more downwind sailing than the previous races, Blake asked Farr to investigate the relative speed potential of a ketch. Farr’s research revealed that a ketch had potential to get around more quickly – but Blake then discovered that Dalton also favoured a ketch.

Blake went one stage further by suggesting that a fractional ketch might have a rating advantage over a masthead ketch and he persuaded a reluctant Farr to alter Steinlager ’s design again.

As it turned out, Steinlager 2 nearly never existed. After the pre-preg composite hull was completed in the autumn of 1988 it was found to have delamination problems that were so catastrophic it had to be rejected and disposed of.

But thanks to the unequivocal support of the sponsors a new hull was built (often referred to as Steinlager 2b ), and just 17 weeks later Auckland’s Southern Pacific Boatyard launched the completed boat.

After five months of sea trials – sometimes with Fisher & Paykel as a sparring partner – Steinlager 2 , which by now had acquired the nickname ‘the Big Red’, was shipped to Europe. She took part in the Fastnet Race, winning just two minutes ahead of Fisher & Paykel .

Drastic early days of broken boats and high drama in Whitbread Round the World Race

This year is the 40th anniversary of the round the world race, now the Volvo Ocean Race. Barry Pickthall remembers…

Steinlager ’s winning ways continued with the Whitbread Race, though the first leg half-a-day victory over Merit into Punta del Este would turn out to be their biggest leg win. Fisher & Paykel finished barely half an hour behind them in three of the subsequent legs, and the margin on the Fremantle to Auckland leg – the one they both wanted to win more than any other – was a little over six minutes.

On the last leg Steinlager might have lost her hard-won advantage when, four days out of Fort Lauderdale, a chainplate for a mizzen shroud and mainmast backstay failed. It was only quick thinking helmsman Brad Butterworth’s immediate gybe that saved the rig.

After the race finished Steinlager 2 remained in the northern hemisphere for two decades, under three different owners. She was variously known as Safilo and Barracuda before Swiss sailor Stefan Detjen bought her in 2003.

He restored her original name and distinctive original livery, sailing her six Atlantic crossings (including a Huelva to La Gomera race record), three Middle Sea Races and various Mediterranean regattas. She also took part in some Whitbread reunion races, including the Volvo Legends regatta in Alicante in 2011.

The New Zealand Sailing Trust had been established in 2008 to purchase Lion New Zealand – the boat Peter Blake had skippered in the 1985/86 Whitbread – and use her to provide sail training experiences for young New Zealanders.

There was a growing feeling that it was time Steinlager also returned to New Zealand and the following year the opportunity to purchase her arose, so the Trust immediately did so. She was then sailed back to Auckland via the Panama Canal .

Steinlager needed a good deal of work to make her fit for her new role and this was entrusted to Yachting Developments at Hobsonville just outside Auckland. The original accommodation included a semi-enclosed nav station on the centreline beneath the cockpit and a single heads compartment abaft.

Otherwise she was almost completely open plan with pipe cots outboard and forward, and with a U-shaped galley (complete with an athwartships gimballing cooker) on the centreline forward of the main mast.

The number of pipe cots has now been doubled to 30, each named after one of the original crew or another prominent Kiwi yachtsman of the time, and the galley has been moved further abaft. While a single heads compartment might have been considered adequate for 15 all-male Whitbread sailors, it certainly wouldn’t be for the boat’s new role and so two more have been added.

Fifteen of the berths are named after Steinlager ’s Whitbread crew, the rest after other prominent Kiwi sailors of that era. Photo: Nigel Sharp

Steinlager ’s original engine was a 130hp Volvo Penta 4-cylinder diesel, fitted forward of the galley. This was replaced with a new engine of the same model in 2005. Yachting Developments later overhauled it and, to avoid the need for an excessively long shaft, moved it aft to a position under the cockpit.

Refit and retention

Other refit work included a new electronics package, new lights throughout the interior and the installation of a Maxwell VC3500 capstan. Almost all of the original deck gear has been retained, including the three coffee grinders, which drive the Barient winches.

When Steinlager was built, Blake had two sets of spars made for her. He used one set for the first three legs of the Whitbread race and then replaced them with the spare set in Auckland. The original set remained with the boat when she was sold, and in 2009 Detjen unstepped the second set and replaced all suspect components with those from the original spars.

During the Yachting Developments refit, the spars were overhauled with all fittings undergoing crack testing and being repaired or replaced as necessary.

New sails were produced by Doyles in Auckland using Stratis sail cloth and replicating the look of the originals – 110 of which had been made for the Whitbread campaign. With the work complete, Steinlager was relaunched in November 2013 to take up her new role. Since then, the focus has been on taking New Zealand schoolchildren on voyages all over the Hauraki Gulf.

Despite her years Steinlager is, on average, out sailing every other day of the year. Almost 1,000 children had the opportunity to sail on her last year. They’re all too young to remember the phenomenal achievements of Blake and his team almost 30 years ago, but sailing on this iconic boat is a chance to get inspired by a true Kiwi legend.

New Zealand’s Beloved Steinlager 2 Enjoys Second Wind as a Sail Training Vessel

• By Charles Scoones
• April 5, 2022

There is a pub in Coromandel, once a gold-mining town and about a day’s sail from Auckland, where beer can still be ordered in 4-pint “jugs.” For years, Kiwi sailors have cruised the Hauraki Gulf, taken the tide up to the wharf, and strolled up the road for a beer at the Star and Garter. In 1992—a time when foils were a thing used in the sport of fencing— Cruising World organized a flotilla here. Writers Herb McCormick and Tim Murphy came to scout out the territory, and it fell to me to sail them around and show off our backyard. 

I’ve been thinking about that cruise and a certain noisy evening in the pub. This was back in the day when New Zealand was still a cheeky, but so far unsuccessful, challenger for the America’s Cup . There was growing support for another crack at winning the Old Mug. A local sailor, Peter Blake, had just been tasked with heading up the next Kiwi challenge, scheduled for 1995 in San Diego. 

Back then, not many sailors outside the country would have known what Blake had already achieved. This was the Whitbread era, when any well-found yacht with a capable crew could enter the race around the world with a chance of winning on handicap. It may well have been the reputation that New Zealand sailors and boats were gaining around the world that prompted Cruising World to visit. Or maybe it was the epic 1989-90 match race around the world between Kiwi ketches Steinlager 2 , skippered by Blake, and Fisher & Paykel , skippered by Grant Dalton. After all, the Hauraki Gulf is where these guys had learned to sail, so there must be ­something in the waters.

More recently, the Hauraki Gulf was featured on screens around the world as the backdrop to the 75-foot flying-skiff show. On race days in Auckland, the post-match parties continued into the night around the America’s Cup bases at the Viaduct Harbour. Moored in the same basin is Steinlager 2, or “Big Red,” as she is affectionately known. People still talk about how Steinlager 2 and Fisher & Paykel crossed the line in Auckland within three minutes of each other—and days ahead of the bulk of the fleet. By the time they had completed the 32,000-mile race in England, Steinlager 2 had won every leg, a record that has yet to be beaten. Arguably, it was the peak of the maxi-yacht ocean-racing era. 

Following the race, her skipper vowed never to venture into the Southern Ocean again. “Big Red” was sold and spent several years campaigning successfully on the US East Coast and in the Mediterranean. Blake, having summited his Everest, was then persuaded to head up Team New Zealand’s challenge for the 1995 America’s Cup. The result was a Kiwi romp that finally knocked Dennis Conner off his perch and gained Blake a knighthood. He went on to manage the successful defense of the Cup in 2000 before retiring from competitive sailing and turning to environmental work, raising awareness of climate change with his Blake Expeditions. Tragically, only a year later, pirates murdered him on the Amazon River. 

Steinlager 2 , though, carries on. Get up early, and you are likely to see this boat out in the Hauraki Gulf, with students on deck getting her ready for sea. Steinlager 2 is still working hard alongside another Kiwi classic maxi, Lion New Zealand, aka “The Urban Assault Vehicle.” It’s another Whitbread veteran built for Blake, who wanted a vessel that was bulletproof.

Back in 2006, Steinlager 2 was on the market. A charitable trust had been formed in New Zealand to bring the boat back home and get it back to original trim. The plan was to use it for youth training. Steinlager 2 relaunched in 2008 in the original bold-red livery and with a sail wardrobe matching the cloth of racing days. The deck layout remained unchanged. Down below, the layout was modified to accommodate 30 students and four crew. Since then, year-round, the boat has been taking school groups, maritime students and adults to sea. 

A few tides have flowed through the Gulf since that Cruising World charter, and I find myself at the wheel of Steinlager 2 as we head out of Viaduct Harbour, past Team New Zealand’s home base and workmen dismantling the Prada boat shed, down the Waitemat Harbour, and across the recent America’s Cup racecourse. On deck are 28 students, many of whom have never been aboard a boat before. We turn upwind, and unfamiliar hands take the handles at the grinding ­pedestals. Some 2,500 square feet of buff-colored Kevlar climbs hesitantly to the sky, the runner is ground in, and we slowly bear away. The main sheet moans as it is eased around its massive drum. We heel just a little, and the call is for the students to take up positions on the weather rail. The jib is rolled out, the power comes on, the heel increases, and the log climbs effortlessly to 10 knots. 

“Big Red” is coming alive. The running lines begin to hum. I hand over the helm to a nervous young student who has grown up on a farm. “You see that island over the bow?” I ask. “Well, head for that.” 

The thrill for both of us at that moment cannot be measured. This is my day job. Pinch me.

Typically, on a four- or five-day cruise, Steinlager 2 and Lion will sail in the relatively sheltered waters of the Hauraki Gulf or stretch their legs on a passage up the North Island’s Pacific coast. Among the special anchorages is Tiritiri Matangi, a sanctuary island where native birds thrive predator-free, and where little blue penguins come ashore to roost. 

A full day’s sail from Auckland will take us to Great Barrier Island, whose small population enjoys a more relaxed attitude about life than on the mainland. Or we might sail to the Mercury Islands, near where Capt. James Cook set up his instruments in 1769 to observe the planet’s transit. Historic Kawau Island and Coromandel Harbour provide further safe anchorages. 

In practice, many of the same haunts that the Cruising World flotilla of 1992 visited are still among the favorite haunts of sailors today. We have a great backyard here in New Zealand. After a week at sea, the students hopefully can tie a knot or two, work up a passage plan, and know a sheet from a halyard. 

Certainly, they have had a unique experience. It is not always plain sailing; the program does not stop in foul weather (after all, these boats were built to sail the Southern Ocean). But at the end of a voyage, to feel the growth of the students and see the grins on their faces when they step ashore makes our job well worthwhile. 

We are sure that Sir Peter Blake would approve. 

Photographer and professional skipper Charles Scoones lives in New Zealand, where he’s involved with America’s Cup course management and youth training on the water. His thirst for adventure led him to sail an open boat to Scandinavia and cross the Atlantic on the US-flagged Spirit of San Francisco in 1969.

“It was time at last to claim the Whitbread Trophy. After four unsuccessful attempts the victory this time was particularly sweet. ” – Sir Peter Blake

One of the enduring qualities about Peter Blake’s sailing career was his ability first to attract excellent sponsors and second to build long term relationships and friendships with them. Sir Tom Clark is a case in point, as is Douglas Myers, the former chairman of Lion Breweries.

After the Lion campaign, with all its disappointments, Douglas Myers showed no signs of retreating. On the contrary, an ambitious project was proposed whereby Lion, under the banner of its prime export beer, Steinlager, would promote three campaigns.

Steinlager 1 was a high-tech wing-mastered trimaran aimed primarily at the two-handed round Australia Race, which was run in 1988 as part of Australia’s bicentennial celebrations. Steinlager 2 was a Whitbread maxi targeted to once and for all secure the elusive round the world title. Steinlager 3 was to be a giant multihull aimed at securing the Jules Verne Trophy for the fastest non-stop circumnavigation.

Steinlager 1 was 18m (60ft) long and nearly as wide (15.8m – 52ft). Built in carbon and kevlar, she was extremely light, but very strong. With a towering carbon-fibre wing mast, this was an out and out speed machine.

Even in relatively light winds, Steinlager 1 was capable of sailing fast enough to tow a water skier. It was all excitement in the build-up and the family shared some of it too. By now, James had been born and the Blake family of four went cruising on a very high performance multihull built for two. This was an equation that was not without frustration, especially as Blake at 6ft 4in tall had difficulty squeezing into the confined space at the best of times – let alone trying to assemble James’ cot.

For the Round Australia Race, Blake chose Mike Quilter as navigator and co-skipper. Quilter was part of the Lion crew. A former sailmaker, he brought a great depth of experience and talent to the project, as well as being thoroughly good company in any situation.

This was Blake’s coming of age. After all those years of heartbreak and endeavour, everything came together with the striking yacht that gained the affectionate nickname, Big Red.

The pair were severely tested, not to mention scared out of their wits, when they encountered fearful conditions that threatened to engulf, or capsize the trimaran. They survived the experience and won the race by five days, but Blake’s immediate post-race reaction was that he would never race in a multihull again. It was one of those ‘never again’ statements that would later be retracted.

Due to the political unrest in South Africa, the course for the 1989-90 Whitbread Race was altered to exclude Cape Town. Instead the new route went from Southampton (England), across the Atlantic to Punta del Este (Uruguay). From there it went into the Southern Ocean to Fremantle (Australia), from Fremantle to Auckland, then back to Punta del Este, up to Fort Lauderdale (USA) and, finally back to Southampton. This new route required a downwind-oriented yacht which meant that Blake had to use his yachting knowledge to make decisions about the design of the boat.

Working with designer Bruce Farr, Blake and the crew decided that the yacht would have to be longer than ever before with taller masts. After discovering that rivals Fisher & Paykel (F & P) had a very similar design with a ketch rig, Blake acted on a gut feeling and called for a last minute into a fractional rig. This meant that the boat was now even longer and had even taller masts which set Big Red apart.

The 1989-90 Whitbread Race set off from Southampton with Steinlager 2 leading the way. The boat proved its speed, knocking off a week from their estimated time and winning the first leg. The second leg proved testing for all the crews with extremely rough weather. This saw 5 people being lost overboard throughout the fleet, of which 4 were recovered alive. Despite this, Big Red came through to win the second leg by 90 minutes.

Leg 3 saw big winds and waves again and fierce competition between Steinlager and F&P with Blake coming out on top by only six minutes. The fourth leg left large crowds at Auckland and headed into snow and icebergs with Steinlager winning again, this time by 21 minutes. Leg 5 had far more steady conditions, so the crew worked hard to make the boat go as fast as possible. This ended with Steinlager crossing the finish line eight miles ahead of F & P.

The final leg proved to be dramatic, with disaster narrowly avoided when the chain plate attaching the rigging to the side of the yacht cracked. If it hadn’t been for the helmsman gybing, the chain plate would have severed and rigs would have gone over the side. A bit of Kiwi resourcefulness was used to make repairs and Steinlager 2 won by 36 minutes, winning the handicap and each of the race’s six legs.

Sailing like the Whitbread

Many were surprised when we launched the 50th Anniversary edition of the original Golden Globe Race (GGR) back in June 2015. The world had never seen anything like it.

We organised it because I wanted to sail in it. There was nothing anywhere that allowed circumnavigating solo sailors to step back to the basic human challenge. I believed there were other sailors who wanted the same. The rest is history and it was a huge success. I thought of the idea in 2014 and at that same time I knew if the GGR was a success, I would launch the Ocean Globe Race. WHY?

The Ocean Globe Race (OGR) celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the original 1973 Whitbread Race. It will set sail from Europe on 10 September 2023. It’s a 27,000 odyssey around the globe in four legs, for all sailors, in yachts of the same era. For the first time in nearly 30 years, everyday sailors can realise one of the greatest dreams of sailing!

In 1988 I organised and managed the Bicentennial Around Australia Yacht Race. The late Sir Peter Bake entered with Mike Quilter in their 60ft trimaran Steinlager 1. They won the race and we became friends. Peter mentored me on aspects of event management, communications and sponsors. At the time he was building Steinlager II that went on to win every leg of the 1988/89 Whitbread. I was an ordinary sailor, but Peter made me believe I could mount a Whitbread campaign, offering advice and ideas. It failed, but I went on to do the Solo BOC Challenge in 1990/91.

I was then offered a skipper’s position on a Western Australian Whitbread campaign with Hugh Treharne as navigator and John Bertrand manager/coach. With just 2/3rds the budget secured by the deadline Hugh and I set, we pulled out. It was never made public, but it was a close-run dream. It was still possible back then. Only just! Then Volvo took over and it was left to the professionals and then the elite to race.  

For half my life I have been supporting and actively promoting adventure. Any adventure makes good people and inspiring others can be infectious. The time is right for a retro fully crewed race around the world. The Ocean Globe Race is fully underwritten by McIntyre Adventure, as was the Golden Globe Race.

How many will sign up? I have no idea! One thing is certain though! The passion of people to follow adventure sailing and challenge, based on human endeavor and extreme endurance is huge! The Golden Globe Race proved that. The OGR family will grow rapidly around the world just as it did for the GGR. Our research clearly shows that while the race for speed and flying with elite pilots is exciting, SLOWING DOWN and following heroes, brings out core human values and intense emotion that ordinary people, mums and dads relate to and understand. In this fast world we now live in, sometimes looking back, is the best way to move forward! The OGR delivers unique opportunities for everyone. We’re confident we will join with an exciting partner who believes the same. The Ocean Globe Race, like our sister event the GGR, is a cultural renascence borne of an understanding and admiration of those original wholesome values.

You just need to spend time looking at the historic YouTube videos of those first Whitbread  races to feel the raw human quality, the fun, the simplicity and drama of it all. They were key. Budgets and boats were the tools. The people were everything.

It is absolutely possible to bring much of that to life again. I miss it and maybe you do too! Maybe you will be happy to watch? Maybe you want to get out and do it. As much as I would give my right arm to do it, I know from experience that for now it is impossible. The passion and excitement for Jane and I is to make this OGR a success. Initial support is building already, and we are years from the start.

So good luck and we hope to hear from you. The Ocean Globe family is getting ready!

Get a unique experience on Sir Peter Blake's boats

Members of the public have the opportunity to stand at the helm where Sir Peter Blake did on both Steinlager 2 and Lion New Zealand on a series of upcoming sailing journeys.

The NZ Sailing Trust, who operate the two boats, have developed all-inclusive sailing experiences from Auckland, including one that will take in the start of this month's PIC Coastal Classic.

The three-day Nautical Fusion Adventure journey departs on the morning of Friday October 23, 2020 and will head to Devonport to watch the start of this year's Coastal Classic. Steinlager 2 will then to sail on to experience other treasured islands around the Hauraki Gulf, returning on Sunday, October 25.

The NZ Sailing Trust also operate their our Hauraki Gulf Paradise overnight experience (2 day, 1 night), with proceeds from each experience contributing to young Kiwis participating in their youth development programmes.

They can also take bookings for full boat charters for the America’s Cup Series, Prada Cup challenger series and the America’s Cup on board either Lion New Zealand or Steinlager 2.

Blake skippered both boats during his Whitbread Round the World campaigns, and won all six legs on Steinlager 2 in the 1989-90 edition.

Steinlager 1 Trimaran

Discussion in ' Multihulls ' started by ixplorer , Jun 13, 2011 .

ixplorer Junior Member

Looking for dimensions and any images of this boat please... have a few but it seems its a largely unphotographed boat... the plan is to build a large scale model of it ... as in 18' long. Anyone with information, I would be welcome to hear it thanks. g  

Richard Woods Woods Designs

I suggest you contact its designer Dave Alan Williams eg here http://www.nauti-links.com/pages/14561aa28/ Richard Woods  

Thanks for that, been looking for him everywhere... still snail mail will take time... anyone else have any data... many thanks  

Yikes... 18m [60ft] in length, mast height of 30m [100ft], width of 15.8m [52ft]. So even if I build a model thats half scale 1/2 scale 9m [30ft] long, the mast will be 15m [50ft] tall 1/3 scale = 6m - [19ft], mast 10m - [33ft] tall. 1/4 scale = 4.5m - [15ft], mast 7.5mtr [25ft] Was looking for it to be a model !... with a mast of 25ft its almost twice the height of a paper tiger. Bloody hell.  

Corley epoxy coated

a lot of orma60 multihull models are built to a 2metre hull length and seem to do quite well at that size. If it's to be a sailing model you would probably be best to scale down the mast length beyond a proportional full size figure as the boat would be way overpowered with a full size scale mast. Doug Lord is the resident boat design model multihull man maybe pm him for details. If it's a static model I'd go to 1/18th scale 1 metre hull lenth and 1.6 metre mast sounds good to me.  

Wash your mouth out !.. No such thing as overpowered ! The plan was to have it at around 4.5m ... and with the measurements i now am aware of, its not a model any more... its a copy... a working, scaled down lightning fast... copy. cheers g  

Gary Baigent Senior Member

I've sailed on Steinlager 1 - and the steam gauge registered 30 knots once during a fresh reach - but although the wing mast had a very large 2 metre chord, I'm fairly sure it wasn't 100 feet tall, maybe off the water, but not off the deck.  

Whats a 2 mtr chord ? The length of the mast "depth" at base ? All the measurements i have found online say 30mtrs. Do you have any digital photos of the boat ???? Cos that would be awesome. Cheers tho g  

Chord means the depth of the wing mast, the cross section measurement from leading to trailing edge. On second thoughts, Steinlager 1's mast may have been (only) 1.5 metres, still a big rig. Multihull expert Loic Peyron sailed the tri in France and was very critical of its large chord ... which he got into trouble with during a hard blow. Blake and Quilter did too, hove too behind an island during the Round Australai race. Digital cameras didn't exist in those days, but I've got some film prints, could scan later.  

I have seen Steinlager racing in close quarters against other 60ft trimarans. (I have video and still photos, but none are digital, sorry.) All had the same height masts, so yes 100ft sounds right. I also thought it had a too big chord mast Richard Woods  

Gary, I figured out that was the chord... can you explain how the chord makes the sail work more effectively ? For my copy... I want to make it an extremely fast boat... but i would still like to be alive... can anyone offer software to calculate power to weight ratios for me so that I can figure out how to build the outriggers and the main hull... i have never done anything like this before and right now I am thinking... glass over ply... with a aluminium frame T joints for where the braces meet the hulls... without knowing the nautical term for thee braces apologies ... its going to be a fast learning curve ! That would be awesome if you were able to scan the pics for me... picasa album would be easy if you use that... I found some pro photos in an advertising agency throwout years ago and kept them... but have no idea where they are now... when i locate them i will scan and upload them as they need to be seen by the world. Richard... wow... the video and stills would be amazing if you can share. many thanks  

Ixplorer, I'm all for enthusiasm and would never knock it in anyone - but cobra, you're talking of a hot boat here ... a 9 x 8 metre tri with a 15 m rig is potent stuff - and is something that you need to actually work up too, just imo, both in building and sailing - because you say you've never done anything like this before. All multihulls (unless they heavy cruising condominiums) are fast and if you build light yet strong, you'll be fast - and I'd suggest checking out some local multihulls and do plenty of book (Gougeon brothers among others) and web research, before you commit yourself to building your dream machine.

History 1989-90

Crews 1989-90.

• The competition was divided into four level rating divisions and the handicap structure was scrapped.
• A cruising division was run for the first and only time.
• Steinlager 2 won every leg in the maxi division and was the winner overall.
• It was the last race in which Peter Blake took part. He had raced in the first five races.
• Tracy Edwards and her crew became the first all-female team to compete in the race onboard Maiden, the former Disque D’Or II.
• The Duchess of York, who was then the wife of HRH Prince Andrew, christened Maiden.
• Maiden won two of the three Southern Ocean legs in Division D.
• The British military combined to enter the maxi yacht British Satquote Defender. It was the last time the British services had an entry in the race. HRH Prince Philip christened the yacht at London’s Tower Bridge.
• Fazisi became the first entry from the USSR. Her co-skipper was American Skip Novak who had sailed in three previous races.
• Fazisi was flown to the UK in an Antonov 124, at the time, the world’s biggest transport aircraft.
• Alexei Grischenko, the co-skipper of Fazisi committed suicide during the first stopover in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
• Yanne Gustafsson, a crewmember from The Card, was killed in Punta del Este in a motorbike accident.
• Tony Philips was lost from Creighton’s Naturally during Leg 2.
• Charles Jourdan collided with a whale on Leg 3.
• The Card lost her mizzenmast when it became entangled with a spectator boat at the start of Leg 4. She continued the leg as a sloop.
• The United States (Ft Lauderdale) hosted the race for the first time.
•  Two boats did not complete the course.
• Three were dismasted.

Twenty-three boats met on the start line for the fifth Whitbread, 17 of which were maxis. Although the race still applied time allowances, four divisions separated the entries and the Whitbread Trophies were now for the first boat to finish in each class, rather than the overall winner on corrected time.

Two yachts dominated the race. Both had extremely experienced skippers with a record of previous Whitbread races behind them. Steinlager 2, skippered by Peter Blake and Fisher & Paykel was skippered by Grant Dalton, Blake’s watch leader from the previous race.

Steinlager 2’s speeds were awesome and, assisted by helpful winds, Blake’s crew soon set a new record covering 343 miles in 24 hours. Fisher & Paykel arrived in Punta del Este without their mizzenmast after a backstay fitting failed. The crew had salvaged the wreckage and sailed on without telling anyone.

Steinlager 2 won Leg 1 in Division A, beating Merit by 12 hours and Fisher & Paykel by 30. The leg duration, anticipated to be 30 days, turned out to be a whole week less. Rothmans arrived fourth with a cracked deck. As the only competitor in Division C, Equity & Law II won her division, and L’Esprit de Liberté won Division D.

Alexei Grischenko, co-skipper Fazisi went missing during the stopover in Punta del Este. He had committed suicide. Another crew death was caused by a motorcycle accident: the victim was Janne Gustafsson from The Card.

During the layover in Punta del Este, Rothmans skipper, Lawrie Smith two crew from NCB Ireland to bolster his team; the project manager of L’Esprit de Liberté ran off with £100,000 and the crew's passports; and the skipper of British Satquote Defender was sacked.

Within minutes of the start, the wind rose to 40 knots and the temperature dropped. As the fleet headed south on Great Circle route, Union Bank of Finland had two frightening broaches among ice, which caused her to sail more cautiously at night. The boats had radar, but not all icebergs were able to be located. The crews were nervous as they surfed at high speeds on the edge of control.

During a broach, one of the crew from The Card broke his arm in two places, while the bowman on Fortuna Extra Lights broke his collarbone when the spinnaker pole slammed him into the forestay.

On Creighton’s Naturally, during a violent broach Bart van den Dwey and Tony Phillips, were swept overboard. Both men were wearing lifejackets and equipped with flares and personal radio beacons, but the recovery still took more than 45 minutes. Van den Dwey was resuscitated, but Tony Phillips was buried at sea.

Spinnaker poles and booms, arms and legs, breakages were rife and it was only after the Kerguelen Islands that things began to quieten down, though not before Fortuna Extra Lights had created a new 24-hour record of 405 miles.

At the approach to the finish in Fremantle, only 22 nautical miles separated leading maxis, Steinlager 2, Rothmans, Merit and Fisher & Paykel. Steinlager 2 crossed the line first, 90 minutes in front. Rothmans and Merit staged a match-race for second place, Rothmans beating Merit by 28 seconds after 27 days of racing. A week later, Maiden crossed the line first in Division D, achieving the best result for a British boat in the Whitbread for 12 years.

For the second time, Christmas was spent at sea and the fleet ploughed straight back into gale force conditions and heavy seas.

Beyond the Tasman Sea, the winds calmed and the leaderboard offered a new scenario with every position report. With 245 miles to the finish, nine miles separated the first three boats. Steinlager 2 led Fisher & Paykel by four miles, with Rothmans third and Merit just 11 miles behind. Charles Jourdan collided with a whale, leaving a three-metre gash in the hull. It was above the waterline so the French crew patched it up and carried on. Union Bank of Finland dismasted and reached Auckland under jury rig.

On the final approach to Auckland, Grant Dalton turned off the navigation lights of Fisher & Paykel after she rounded the North Cape. Meanwhile, onboard Steinlager 2, Blake tuned into the local radio channel to get some idea of the conditions around Auckland, a move that prompted a change of sail that gave Steinlager 2 a smooth passage through a ferocious 40-knot squall. Fisher & Paykel was still flying her spinnaker and lost time as the crew reconfigured, allowing their rivals to stretch their lead to a mile. Steinlager 2 enjoyed a rapturous welcome as she crossed the line less than six minutes ahead of Fisher & Paykel to win her third straight leg in Division A. Three days later Maiden crossed the line to win her second leg in Division D. Around 14,000 people gathered on the dockside to welcome Maiden, even though it was 0100.

Concerns over the congestion in Auckland at the start were realised when The Card’s mizzenmast became entangled with the rigging of one of the thousands of spectator boats and snapped. The team continued to sail the leg as a sloop.

Rucanor Sport retired from the leg and returned to Auckland after she collided with a whale and damaged her rudder. On Maiden Mikaela von Kuskull was knocked unconscious by the boom then Michelle Paret was hurled into the wheel by a massive wave. Claire Russell, the doctor, strapped Paret into a bunk and kept her there for four days.

Steinlager 2 and Fisher & Paykel rounded Cape Horn just five miles apart. A few days later, off the coast of Argentina Martela OF capsized when her keel fell off. The crew was rescued unscathed from the upturned hull by Merit and Charles Jourdan. The boat was later salvaged.

Once more, Steinlager 2 tipped over the line first in Division A, this time by 21 minutes. The incapacity of Paret on Maiden cost the all-female crew the overall lead in Division D and by the time she arrived in Punta in third place, L’Esprit de Libertéhad posted a 17-hour advantage.

Leaving Punta del Este, Rothman’s took a more easterly course and led for much of the way to the Doldrums, but her lead evaporated when an unusual weather system gave boats to the west of Rothmans a surge of speed, Steinlager 2 and Fisher & Paykel included.

For the rest of the leg, it was a two-boat show with Steinlager 2 making it five Division A leg victories in five with a 34-minute win over Fisher & Paykel. A navigational error on Maiden saw her fall behind Rucanor Sport and L’Esprit de Liberté and she achieved a disappointing fourth place in Division D.

During the 30-day stopover a conference for competitors, designers, yachting officials, sponsors and journalists was held where discussions began on the feasibility and desire for a new class of racing yacht.

The final leg was only 12 hours old when Gatorade reported a broken spreader, which forced her into Jacksonville to make repairs. A few hours later, Rothmans headed Georgetown, calling on two Lear jets to fly in parts to fix a broken shroud.

On day four, a chain plate holding the main mast and mizzen shroud failed onboard Steinlager 2, forcing helmsman Brad Butterworth to crash gybe to save the rig. But skipper Peter Blake was determined to continue even though the mast was in danger of coming down and his crew spent all night working on a new fitting that would keep them going at full speed to the finish.

Maiden also ran into difficulty, colliding with a whale and then being spun 360 degrees by a waterspout, while the top part of Satquote British Defender’s mast fell off. For good measure, NCB Ireland broke a running backstay and the headboard car onboard Merit failed.

Four days from the finish, the crews from Steinlager 2 and Fisher & Paykel could see each other and just before Land’s End, the match racing between them began. Off the Lizard, they were within three boat lengths of each other, the lead held by Steinlager 2.

Fisher & Paykel arrived in Southampton 36 minutes behind Steinlager 2. Six wins in six legs gave Steinlager 2 the Division A Whitbread Trophy, Blake’s first win in five attempts on the race.

As Maiden neared land, she was constantly overflown. The culmination was a massive welcome, virtually national, at Southampton.

Peter Blake was awarded an OBE for his sailing endeavours and bowed out of the Whitbread Race. Tracy Edwards too was recognised with an MBE for her remarkable achievements in finishing second in Division D. Only two boats, Martela OF and Rucanor Sport failed to complete the course.

Sights along the way - sailing on 'steinlager 2' (3) - auckland anniversary regatta 2015.

2 comments:

Ranger was launched in 1938. Sapphire was designed by Olin Stephens USA.

Thank you for your comment. I didn't know Sapphire was an Olin Stephens design - that probably accounts for her stand out good looks. I love the K Class but none of them I feel quite look as good as Sapphire. There is a very good book available about the yacht Ranger - Have you seen this book? Great read.
