Wild Oats XI
''Wild Oats XI'' is a maxi yacht, most famous for being the race record holder and an eight times line honours winner of the "blue water classic" Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. She is owned by Robert Oatley, and skippered by New South Wales yachtsman Mark Richards.
In her first season ''Wild Oats XI'' won the "treble" in the 2005 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, winning on elapsed (line honours) and corrected time (handicap) as well as setting a new race record. In the 2007 race, ''Wild Oats XI'' equaled the 59-year-old record of ''Morna'', by taking line honours in the race three times in a row. In the 2008 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, ''Wild Oats XI'' broke the record, winning an unprecedented fourth consecutive line honours. ''Wild Oats XI'' won the Sydney Hobart "treble" again in 2012, setting a new record of 1 day 18 hours 23 minutes 12 seconds.〔http://rolexsydneyhobart.com/standings/〕
==Design==
''Wild Oats XI'' is a state-of-the-art IRC supermaxi yacht designed by Reichel/Pugh with a Carbon/Nomex composite hull. As a distinctively narrow sloop at beam with an ambitious offshore racing program, she originally featured "canting ballast twin foil" appendages enabling her to carry a large sail plan without compromising stability. Her underbody has been updated continuously and now features a bow centerboard, twin daggerboards amidships, a canting keel with vertical winglets on the torpedo bulb and a centreline single aft balanced spade rudder. In 2013 Wild Oats XI was equipped with a Dynamic Stability System (DSS) which is a retractable horizontal foil deployed on the leeward side of the boat.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=François Chevalier & Jacques Taglang )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Peter Blakeman )〕
All mechanical systems onboard are powered by a continually running Diesel engine. The design decision was made to exclude manual backup systems and the boat is entirely dependent on the auxiliary. This severely limits the boats endurance as it cannot be sailed once the diesel fuel is exhausted. This design compromise was seen as worthwhile as it allowed a large amount of additional weight to be avoided and allowed a higher ballast ratio for a given displacement.
