Salacia II RF1971 Racing offshore Jan © Lindsay Preece / Ironbark Photos Salacia II was commissioned by Arthur William Byrne, the Australian businessman, philanthropist, and founder of B&D Roll-a-Door. The brief at the time to her designer, Olin Stephens, was to match the dominance of Syd Fischer s Ragamuffin on the water, but no expense was to be spared to fit her out with comfort and opulence. Arthur commissioned Cec Quilkey to build Salacia II in 1969 and campaigned her for many years including a 3rd Place finish in the Sydney to Hobart race in 1970. Salacia II was to be faster and prettier. They became fierce competitors in events such as the Sydney to Hobart, but raced alongside each other as teammates in the Admiral s Cup. She would become one of Australia s most iconic ocean racing yachts.
