5.5 AUS 8 - Boat search

As only a historic information was noted, that the boat was last seen in Queensland, but no proof of her current location is available, the search is on.

5.5 KA 8 - boats
13-05-2018
by Kaspar Stubenrauch, 13-05-2018
A boat called "Burrabra", so far associated with sailnumber 5.5 KA 81, is now believed to having been sailed as KA-8 as well. Still, if so, it would rather be KA-8b, as "Burrabra" is meant to be a 1967 built boat. Who has more info?
Correction, 13th May 2018: KA 81 (1967) is apparently not another KA 8.
