Australia II (KA 6) is the 12-meter challenger yacht of Australia for the America’s Cup, launched in 1982, and clinched the Cup in 1983 for the Royal Perth Yacht Club. Skippered by John Bertrand, she was the challenger that secured the first successful Cup challenge, ending the New York Yacht Club’s 132-year reign (with 26 successful defenses).
Designed by Ben Lexcen, built by Steve Ward, owned by Alan Bond, and helmed by John Bertrand, Australia II’s design featured a reduced waterline length and a winged keel with a short chord, providing a significant advantage in maneuverability and reduced heeling moment (lower center of gravity) but proved to be a significant disadvantage in rough seas. The yacht was also exceptionally fast upwind. The winged keel was a major advancement in design, and its legality was questioned by the New York Yacht Club. During the summer of 1983, as the selection trials were underway to defend the Cup that autumn, the New York Yacht Club challenged the legality of the winged keel design. The controversy was ultimately ruled in favor of Australia II.
