Helsal 3

Helsal 3 is back again with a mixed Australian and international crew, competing in the Sydney to Hobart for the 11th time. Fresh from PHS Division 1 honours in the Land Rover Sydney to Gold Coast Yacht Race, Helsal 3 proves it still has what it takes to be competitive.

In the 2013 Rolex Sydney Hobart she finished sixth in PHS Division 1 with his multi-national crew. The previous year, Rob Fisher sailed her to 31st on line and PHS ninth overall. One of two Tasmanian yachts in this race, Helsal 3 was the fourth boat to finish the Bruny Island race in February. Originally Arthur Bloore’s The Office, Dr Tony Fisher (Rob’s dad) and his family raced her with success in the late 1980s and early 1990s out of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia when they lived in Sydney. A heavy 30-year old, Helsal 3 is at her best in heavy conditions.
