Blondie Hasler made long distance sailing famous in his own junk rigged yacht 'Jester' in the 60's and many have followed since.
'Wild Fox' was built under close supervision by her owner for his own single handed adventures and finished to an exceedingly high standard. The yacht has been perfectly maintained, and having sailed 50,000 nm still presents like new. Any junk rig fan will love this yacht.
The yacht won it's class in the Concours d' Elegance Antigua Classic week in 2011 and has been maintained to the same standard ever since.
July 2022 UPDATE. In December 2021 the owner considered that the teak decks were becoming thin so he decided to completely remove all teak and replace with white grp, the job was done by AME Marine in Phuket. This has had the effect of considerably reducing the heat down below.
