Terra Firma

 

The name Terra Firma lives on again - Nicholas Bartels stepped up from his successful Sydney 47 to the Cookson 50 formerly known as Shogun in 2010. In last year’s Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, Terra Firma finished ninth overall, and third in IRC Division 1 and ORCi Division 1. With some talented sailors onboard and a strong crew, Terra Firma will be out to do well. In his former Sydney 47 Terra Firma, Bartels’ best results include 7th in IRC Division 2 in 2009 Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and 7th in Rolex Sydney Hobart 2008.
