Launched in 1961 this beautiful John G Alden Ketch takes us back in time to the days when Australia’s most famous sailing races were dominated not by technology and sponsorship, but by beautiful timber boats designed with timeless, graceful lines. Lady Enid is well known within the established Australian yachting fraternity and has a long tradition of racing including five Sydney – Hobart races and 15 Brisbane – Gladstone races, sealing her place in Australian racing history when she came first over the line in the first ever Sydney – Brisbane (now Mooloolaba) race in 1964. Built by John Cockle at his builder’s yards in Milperra, Sydney and named after his wife Enid.

Whales on Stonehaven today for our lucky guests! 🐋

We had a magic moment on our Lady Enid sunset sail on Tuesday Karl proposed to his beautiful girlfriend Olivia ❤️ 💍 Karl had been planning this for some time and had even arranged for a professional photographer to be on board to capture the special moment. Crew ensured they were in the right location at the right time to capture the best shots for the happy couple, all without letting on that they knew anything about it! Congratulations Karl and Olivia, wishing you a lifetime of happiness! #iconicwhitsundays #thisisqueensland #AirlieBeach #ladyenidsailing #lovewhitsundays #proposal #engaged
