Charlie’s Dream is a cruising yacht named in memory of Peter Lewis’ father-in-law. Since delivery in September 2008, she has mostly cruised, but has competed in four Rolex Sydney Hobarts, two Gosford to Lord Howe Islands, two Brisbane to Gladstones and two Brisbane to Keppel races along the way. In her first Sydney Hobart outing in 2008, Charlie’s Dream placed second in the Cruising Division, followed by a fourth in the Cruising Division of the 2009 Brisbane to Gladstone Race. In 2010, she won her PHS Division of the Gosford Lord Howe Island race and went on to finish eighth in PHS Division 2 of the Rolex Sydney Hobart. In 2011-2012 she circumnavigated Australia, and in June, completed the Brisbane to Noumea Rally.
