Maritimo 100

Maritimo 100

 

Maritimo 100 is the last Oyster 100 built and was recently purchased by Maritimo principal, Bill Barry-Cotter. Barry-Cotter will race south on the yacht, as will his brother Kendal, with Peter Jones in the skipper role. Barry-Cotter's last race to Hobart was in 1975, when he enjoyed a Divisional win in his self-built Carter 33, Ghost. The Oyster 100 enjoys a large degree of creature comforts, but according to those who have sailed her, the Oyster 100 is no slouch on the racetrack. Last heard, Barry-Cotter was adding more luxury accessories to the yacht.
