In 1979 with HRH Prince Charles as part of the crew Siska set the fastest time defeating world champion Kioloa, and was first overall at Cowes in the Queen Victoria Cup against 329 other entries. Also in 1979 she came second in the disastrous Fastnet Race of that year having sailed the last 300 miles with a broken boom.

WHITSUNDAYS CHARTERS: In 1994 Siska's interior was totally removed and remodelled to make Siska one of the most comfortable overnight MAXI charter yachts sailing the Whitsunday Islands. Siska has a full width saloon of 20ft with 12 single berths and five double berths. Siska provides 2 day 1 night sailing adventures in the Whitsundays. Each trip takes up to 22 guests on the adventure of a lifetime. Weekly maintenance keeps Siska in A1 condition with major refits occuring every 2 years to keep Siska looking great.

Siska has a myriad of winches and sailing gear that could baffle all but the most experienced crew, however, guests are welcome to assist sail Siska, including hoisting and trimming sails, or taking the heIm to steer her around the islands.

Siska's interior was custom built for Whitsunday Charters. This helps to make siska one of the most comfortable Maxi Charter Yachts sailing the Whitsundays.

This saloon area also doubles as a comfortable lounge area.
