Commisioned as 'Windward' but renamed 'Windward ll' due to the existence of a yacht by the name of 'Windward' on Sydney Harbour, which was to become her new home until 1994, when she was sailed by her current owner/skipper, Lindsay Truman, to Manly Harbour in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Built by Percy Coverdale in Hobart in 1928/29 and designed by Norman E Dalymore, Windward II is strongly constructed of Huon Pine on Spotted Gum Frames. She features a Pitched and Caulked Celery Top Pine Deck, Teak Coamings and Oregon Spars. She was commissioned by E H Webster who failed to take possession of her after completion due to the Great Depression and was purchased soon after by James M Hardie, who was to go on to become Commodore of the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron. Originally rigged as a Schooner she was converted to a Cutter Rigged Sloop in the mid 70’s. She remained in his possession until the mid seventies, changed hands thereafter a couple of times and was partially restored until purchased by Lindsay Truman, the current owner/skipper, when her restoration was completed in 1995. Her sailing season included the following honours: 1931/32- Fairfax Cup, 1932/33- Fairfax Cup, 1933/34- Fairfax Cup and Gascoigne Cup, 1934/35-Fairfax Cup, 1936/37- Reyonah Cup, 1948/49-Fairfax Cup and Norn Cup.
