WATCH: Syd-Hob Huntress crew’s rescue
Sydney-Hobart yacht rescued after losing their rudder and abandoning ship
Salvaging stranded Sydney to Hobart yacht Huntress could be too big a job, experts warn
On remote Christmas Beach on Tasmania's truwana/Cape Barren Island, you would rarely see any evidence of human life.
The waves that crash on the pristine white sand would normally bring shells and seaweed.
But a string of dramatic events has meant a much-loved yacht now sits lonely and motionless on the beach.
There are still many unanswered questions in the story of the 12-metre cruiser Huntress.
Its crew made an "extremely difficult and heart-wrenching decision" to abandon it after it lost its rudder during the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
It was then left to drift for a week before it washed ashore.
Why wasn't Huntress rescued at sea?
Passengers on a cruise ship have told the ABC they spotted the yacht as they were travelling from New Zealand to Melbourne on January 2.
The passengers said the cruise ship turned around and headed towards Huntress when there was no response from the yacht in case a rescue or assistance was required.
Images and videos from onboard the ship show a ghostly Huntress appearing through fog and bobbing around in the waves.
An alert issued by Marine and Safety Tasmania (MAST) said an at-sea salvage attempt was due to take place — but before that could happen, the vessel had gone ashore.
"MAST understands there was contact with a fisherman, but I'm not quite certain about that and why that didn't happen," said MAST's Peter Hopkins.
"Whether or not a rescue or a salvage could have been made earlier, that's one for the salvage company and the insurance to work out."
After being rescued and taken to Flinders Island, the crew said a salvage operation was "already being planned for her safe transfer to mainland Tasmania".
But just days later, in a now-deleted post, the boat's owner said the team were "angry, devastated and at a complete loss as to how the hell it came to this, given she was floating around for a week now with ample opportunity to be towed to safety".
Rod Chamberlain, who owns marine services company Hurricane Marine, said it "seemed strange" the vessel had not been able to be saved while still at sea, suggesting it may have been held up with the yacht's insurer.
"A salvor needs to be appointed by the insurance company," he said.
His company offers salvage services in similar incidents and said it was always going to be a tricky situation.
"A yacht without a rudder is one of the most difficult things to tow," he said.
"A yacht with no steering is about as useless a boat as you can get."
What happens now?
Images of the yacht show its mast has broken, but the hull appears to be intact.
But the clock is ticking on the salvage operation, with concerns growing that it could break apart.
Mr Hopkins described it as needing a "massive effort" to get it off the beach.
"It may have been easier to pick the boat up when it was in one piece when it was drifting around," he said.
"Now the boat has beached itself, it's going to be a lot bigger operation than just simply putting a tow line on the boat and towing it back to a mooring.
"The biggest threat is the boat filling up with sand and seawater and gradually breaking apart."
Mr Chamberlain agreed.
"Often you have to use excavators to help you in that situation, but that is not an option in this area due to its remoteness," he said.
He said the sooner it was saved, the better.
"The biggest danger with any vessel on a beach is that if the sea gets around it, they soon start to break up," he said.
"Often it can be too late, and you end up with a clean-up, which becomes messy and more expensive."
What's happening on the island?
Aboriginal sea rangers on the island were the first to report the yacht had washed ashore.
"It's a very important pristine piece of Aboriginal land, and we want the salvage to be successful, safe and quick as possible," said Vica Bayley from the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania.
"A modern yacht like this, full of fibreglass, plastics, stainless steel and, obviously, diesel fuel, is a completely different kettle of fish and poses a much more significant environmental risk to that part of the island."
A salvage attempt is expected to take place this weekend.
"If the boat does remain in one piece and they can get her off, then there won't be any problems," Mr Hopkins said.
"Let's just hope they do get the boat off in one piece. She's a lovely boat and I can understand the angst the crew and especially the owners are going through at the moment."
The ABC contacted the owner of Huntress and the insurer for comment.
Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2024
Huntress is a development of the Sydney 38 from the Australian Murray Burns Dovell stable. Queenslander Brent Dowton took charge of his newly purchased Huntress late last year when the Sydney 39 cruiser/racer was sailed up from Sydney where previous owner, Philip Grove, raced her regularly out of the CYCA and up north, with wins at Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island Race Weeks. Since his purchase, Dowton has sailed her to ninth overall in the RQYS’s Short Passage Race in September. The boat is skippered by experienced yachtswoman, Victoria Logan.

(built as Northern Star)
Designed primarily for extended voyages in arctic and tropical waters, HUNTRESS was delivered in 2009. Espen Øino International gave the 75-metre yacht a very traditional appearance while reflecting the owner's ideas. Her six decks offer 12 guests vast amounts of space and great seagoing comfort in an atmosphere akin to a palatial country villa. Her interior, designed by Pauline Nunns, features panelled, raised and fielded limed-oak walls, some painted with pastel shades to blend with the sumptuous fabrics.

Race to salvage Huntress after Sydney to Hobart competitor beached on Cape Barren Island
By Monte Bovill

A yacht abandoned during the Sydney to Hobart yacht race has washed ashore on one of Tasmania's most remote beaches after drifting for a week, with concerns for the area's culture and environmental significance.
Key points:
- After breaking a rudder, the crew of Huntress drifted before being rescued
- After several days, Huntress washed ashore on a remote Tasmanian beach on Aboriginal land
- There are concerns the yacht will break up before it can be salvaged, due to the remoteness of its location
The crew of Huntress, a 12-metre cruiser, enjoyed "36 hours of absolute champagne sailing" during the 77th Sydney to Hobart race before conditions changed dramatically.
"We had 12 hours of very testing conditions on Tuesday night that unfortunately resulted in the loss of our rudder at 0700hrs Wednesday. While surfing a wave at 20 knots (boat speed), we heard a loud thud," the crew wrote in an Instagram post.
"It became obvious that the rudder had sheared off when we saw it floating away in the distance."
With some of the eight on board experiencing seasickness and authorities informing them a "tow would be too dangerous", the "extremely difficult and heart-wrenching decision" was made to "leave Huntress floundering 80 nautical miles (148 kilometres) offshore", the team posted on social media.

The crew were then taken aboard a police vessel and transferred to Flinders Island, where they said a salvage operation was "already being planned for her safe transfer to mainland Tasmania" on December 29.

Since then, Huntress has been drifting off Tasmania's north-east coast without navigation lights or transmission of an Automatic Identification System (AIS) signal after the yacht's batteries went flat.
It has now washed ashore on Christmas Beach on truwana/Cape Barren Island.

Marine and Safety Tasmania (MAST) first issued a warning to marine traffic on Tuesday, five days after the yacht was abandoned, alerting that Huntress was drifting 15 nautical miles off the Tasmanian mainland.
According to the MAST alert, an at-sea salvage attempt was due to take place — but before that could happen, the vessel had gone ashore.
In a now-deleted post, the boat's owner said the team were "angry, devastated and at a complete loss as to how the hell it came to this, given she was floating around for a week now with ample opportunity to be towed to safety".
Beaching site not accessible by road
A salvage of Huntress is set to be attempted this weekend. ( Twitter: Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania )
Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania manager Rebecca Digney said there were serious concerns about the yacht breaking up.
"Everyone is relieved that no one was on the vessel but just a bit shocked to have this ghost vessel wash up on the beach," she said.
"At the moment, the yacht appears to be intact, but we are concerned what should happen if that yacht were to break apart. It's going to be hard to recover the vessel and keep it intact."

She described Christmas Beach as a "very clean, pristine and remote place".
"It's an area frequented by the Aboriginal people that live on truwana/Cape Barren Island," she said.
"The island is the only parcel of land in the whole of Tasmania to have a permanent, full-time Aboriginal population living on Aboriginal land."
The area is only accessible by foot or by boat.
Salvage attempts will now be made at the weekend.
It is the second year Huntress has failed to finish the Sydney to Hobart.
In 2021, in its maiden race, Huntress retired from competition due to mainsail damage.

Why wasn't Huntress rescued at sea? Passengers on a cruise ship have told the ABC they spotted the yacht as they were travelling from New Zealand to Melbourne on January 2. The passengers said the cruise ship turned around and headed towards Huntress when there was no response from the yacht in case a rescue or assistance was required.
Huntress is a development of the Sydney 38 from the Australian Murray Burns Dovell stable. Queenslander Brent Dowton took charge of his newly purchased Huntress late last year when the Sydney 39 cruiser/racer was sailed up from Sydney where previous owner, Philip Grove, raced her regularly out of the CYCA and up north, with wins at Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island Race Weeks.
