Thirlmere

 

Thirlmere boasts a wealth of experienced offshore yachties: Larry Jamieson, Phil Eadie and Tony Ellis – all of whom have sailed with yachting legend Syd Fischer and understand what this 384 nautical mile race can throw at its competitors. Co-owner Sally Warneford is pleased about that, as although she has plenty of inshore racing experience, this is the first time she will race offshore and the Land Rover Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race is a good place to start. 

Thirlmere is a regular competitor in both CYCA and Middle Harbour Yacht Club inshore events, but this is its first major offshore race in several years. Best results include winning the Sydney 38 One Design division of the 2012 Winter Series and placing sixth in the Sydney 38 class of the 2012 CYCA Trophy. It finished fifth in the Sydney 38 division at the 2013 Sydney Harbour regatta and second in Performance Cruising at Sail Port Stephens 2010.
