Helsal 3

Helsal 3

 

Helsal 3 has been in the ocean racing scene around Australia for over 30 years.  Designed by Joe Adams,  she has over the years had some upgrades to the keel, rudder, mast and rigging.  The 2018 Rolex Sydney Hobart crew included an eclectic group of sailors, some local experienced sailors and two from overseas. 

Helsal 3 has a strong training program and culture with a view to give the best opportunity to our offshore sailors both experienced and new comers.  “The Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is the highlight event of our 2018 campaign and we look forward to the challenges and awards of what is known as the great race,” said skipper David Stephenson last year.  The training paid off, with a 3rd place in PHS in last years "Hobart", and a 9th in last year's Audi Centre Sydney Tasman Performance Series.
