The History of Southern Cross
This incredible vessel was the winner of the Louis Vouitton Cup! Successfully out-sailing competitors to make it to the final of the Americas Cup, this prestigious vessel was built specifically to race against the Americans in Newport to win the Americas Cup. Built in Perth in Western Australia, Southern Cross measures 68ft in length with a single mast which is 97ft high and is made of aluminium, making her ideal for sailing at top speeds. As a true Aussie icon, her name represents the Southern Hemisphere's most famous constellation, the Southern Cross, which is easily spotted from the Whitsundays. The constellation itself is so bright and well known, it has been used traditionally in navigation, aiding sailors to make their way across the seas.
