In 2025, Antigua Sailing Week was attended by two top end offshore racing yachts from very different times.
Launched in 1974, the 79 foot Kialoa 3 was all conquering on the world stage for many years. Today Pyewacket 70, a modified Volvo 70, is one of the fastest 70 footers around. In this film we compare these two legends from different times.
In an ironic twist, Ben Mitchell who currently races onboard Pyewacket, also used to race on Kialoa III , 50 years ago - including during the 1975 Sydney Hobart race where K3 set a record that stood for 21 years! We talk with Ben and with new K3 owner Lennart Davidson about the technical evolution in offshore racing yachts during the decades that separate them and about the custom courses provided by the ASW race committee to ensure great races for the big boat class this year.
