She's The Culprit

She's The Culprit

 

In last year’s slow Sydney Gold Coast Yacht race, She’s The Culprit scored fifth from seven boats in PHS, as the conditions did not suit, but the Culprit Syndicate put that performance behind them to finish third in division in last year’s Hobart race.

However, the yacht’s first major race for the syndicate of four mates from Lake Macquarie and Newcastle was the 2012 Pittwater to Coffs, where she won PHS Division 2. She also scored a PHS divisional win in the Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race that year and was third in the 2012-2013 LMYC and NCYC offshore point scores where she quickly earned a reputation of being a very social boat.

Built in 1994 by Hart Marine and launched as Top Cat for the Melbourne Osaka Yacht Race. She then raced in Tasmania under the name 42 South, before being sold to Todd Leary, who changed her name to She’s The Culprit and campaigned her in all the long distance races, including three Hobart’s from 2008-2010.
