Get inspired by high speed on the water as we celebrate the wonders of sailing for the anniversary exhibition Australia II: 40 Years On.

Did you know Australia II had a famous secret weapon? It was the innovative ‘winged keel’ design. It stabilised the boat while achieving great speed in race conditions. Let's take inspiration from this and add our own designs to create something special!

Add your flair on the yachts as they battle for the win on the Australia II versus Liberty digital screen. Decorate a boxing kangaroo battle-flag kite, colour your own Australia II hat, or craft your own shipshape keyring with sailor style knotwork to take home.
