Arunga stems from the Aboriginal name for red kangaroo. It was in 1970 that Frank and Mark Tolhurst took pen to paper designing a yacht that would put Australia on the world map in 5.5m racing. Suc
h a yacht required a name that would be iconic to Australia, possess physical strength, agility, and exceptional pace. And so with great pride, Arunga, the red kangaroo was born. Arunga went on to achieve multiple world records that still stand, with Frank at the helm and Mark as the tactician.
