Le Billet

Le Billet

 

Originally owned and campaigned with countless successes by RPAYC stalwart, Bill Ebsary, Mark Tinworth bought Le Billet and finished 41st overall in the 2014 Land Rover Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race and bettered that with 36th overall for ninth in Division 2 last year. Le Billet also finished fourth overall in Premier IRC Division 2 and third in ORCi at the 2015 Sydney Harbour Regatta Tinworth and Mark Waterhouse purchased the yacht in 2012 and have spent the last three seasons racing in Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club inshore and offshore events. Having eased into their boat now, the crew will be aiming high. Enlisting Steve McConaghy to call tactics is a smart move and could steer Le Billet to her best result for Tinworth.
