The News, Culture and Practice of Sailing woodenboats
in Australia, New Zealand & The South Pacific.
15 minutes of fame back in 1989
The boat was holed and sunk, and Bill and Simonne took to a four-person coastal liferaft. This in the days when EPIRBs broadcast distress signals only on 121.5 MHz to passing aircraft. The couple christened their raft LAST CHANCE and ultimately survived on a diet of raw fish that Bill caught.
