Acrospire IV was built purely for racing, as one of only a few A1 Class yachts of the late 1920s. She unsuccessfully challenged for the Sayonara Cup in 1929 and 1930.
She has won the Sir Lipton Cup, Cactus Cup and many more prestigious races in Australia with the most recent being the Club Marine 2012 Fremantle HARBOUR Classic.
