The roof of the Museum towers 30 metres above the boats in this spectacular gallery, celebrating Western Australian’s “mucking around” in the water. This gallery displays craft, old and new, that showcase the adventures of people challenging nature and themselves as they “take on the world” on the water. The gallery features a number of boats including the Parry Endeavour, the yacht that took lone yachtsman Jon Sanders three times around the globe and Australia II, the racing yacht with the winged keel that won the America’s Cup from the United States in 1983.
