Prior to her present ownership WATERWITCH completed two ocean passages, both from Hong Kong to the Philippines. She came 2nd in the 1991 San Fernando race, behind the Maxi yacht Rothmans and was placed 2nd overall in a fleet of over 60 boats. She has also cruised from Hong Kong to Sydney, Australia and back.

Her ability to move fast through the water is a credit to the Robert Harris design board. Because of the systems fitted, just two people can handle her with ease and no crew is needed.

She is a large roomy, comfortable yacht for either a couple or up to 8 people.
