Credit to her past and current owner, he has lived on and maintained Seabiscuit IV for five years. He has adoringly kept her modern by upgrading systems, and electrical devices while keeping her authentic charm.

Seabiscuit IV was designed by Robert Beebe a renowned naval architect who designed over 150 vessels one of which was the Passage Maker 56, the original Seabiscuit.

Built in 1985 in Ballina NSW, Seabiscuit IV construction took 36months, 18 months to procure the timber and 18 months to build. At a then cost of $1 million, Seabiscuit IV was built to survey and worked for many years in Sydney harbour as a charter boat and was honoured to be the Sydney to Hobart yacht race start boat. Since her charter boat days, she has been privately owned travelling the ocean throughout Asia Pacific regions.

The design of the Passage Maker vessels was so successful that he wrote a book based on it called, Voyaging Under Power.
