Those of us who attended ‘The Great White Whale‘ movie about an early expedition to Heard Island learnt how one of the crew members was so inspired that he went on to found the sailing training organisation that built and runs Leeuwin II in Western Australia – see >>here<<.
Last August Leeuwin II was dismasted when a container ship went out of control in Fremantle Harbour in 40-50 knot winds and there is a very dramatic video report that has just been released. View it >>here<<.
Thanks to Southern Wooden Boat Sailing for pointing this one out.
