Former offshore yachtsman Alan Brierty, now a Sharpie sailor, has chartered this Western Australian Sydney 38 to compete in the 20th anniversary Sydney Gold Coast Race.

He has assembled an experienced team, most of who have had individual success in various boats including Sharpies, Etchells, J24s and offshore yachts. The majority of the crew hail from Western Australian with some local knowledge being provided by three Sydney-based sailors who will add a good mix to the team.
