The well-known Hurrica V has finally been sold, but unfortunately it won't stay in Australia - the new American owners will be taking it home to San Francisco. I had the privilege of being toured over this magnificent yacht by the skipper/caretaker back in 2012 when when i was doing my coxswains cert. it was first put up for sale in 2012 at $3.99m, after the filming of The Great Gatsby(released 2013), in which it featured. Latest advertised price i could find was $1.85m , so they got a real bargain - I was told the restoration cost was well over $8 mil
It was at the Sydney boat show one year. You weren't allowed on it but it was still such a beautiful sight.
I hope someone will really use it now.
