In her first major offshore outing, the Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, Sherman was forced to retire with a steering problem. However, he finished fifth and 10th respectively in the Flinders Islet and Bird Island races, so is getting there. OCL Too also won the Gascoigne Cup in October this year.
