She's pushing the upper limits for all wood ships; HMS Orlando seems to be regarded as being at the upper limit - at 338'. And apparently even she was not very rigid in a strong sea.
So if this yacht is ENTIRELY wood, then I doubt she's sea-worthy!
More likely, she's some sort of wood composite construction, with wood over a framework, like the Cutty Sark.

I hope it suffers a better fate than the last repro, run down just before it reached it's goal.
But considered to have proved the point.
