The Acrohc Australis is the smallest sailing yacht in the world that has ever circumnavigated the world.

Serge Testa built the Acrohc Australis in the 1980s. The boat was designed in such a way that it could be operated from the closed cabin . It was equipped with a snail reef for the mainsail and a furling genoa . Testa completed the circumnavigation of the world, around 50,000 kilometers, from 1984 to 1987.

The Acrohc Australis is a full-fledged sailing yacht , as it has all the features (fixed keel, cabin, etc.) of a sailing yacht. Today it can be viewed at the Queensland Museum in Southbank, Brisbane .
