Particularly, Thalima SW 110, had a great opportunity to show her performance and seaworthiness. She finished always with one of the best elapsed time against even larger yachts ! Despite she was at her first race, with no professional crew on board and in a definitely cruising asset, Thalima was third in the Cruising A Class and fourth in the general Overall cruising class results.
