Sir Thomas Sopwith on Sydney Harbour
Originally built in Falmouth, UK, for the Ocean Youth Club and launched in 1974, Sir Thomas Sopwith was designed by esteemed naval architect Robert Clark. This distinguished vessel was generously gifted to the Trust by legendary British aviator and America’s Cup contender, Sir Thomas Sopwith, whose name it proudly bears.
What began as a robust training yacht has since been transformed into a beautifully appointed, classically styled vessel that blends timeless design with contemporary luxury. Fully compliant with commercial survey standards, Sir Thomas Sopwith now offers an elegant yet seaworthy platform for exploring some of Australia’s most stunning waterways — from the iconic Sydney Harbour to Pittwater, the Whitsundays, and beyond. Her rich heritage and refined craftsmanship make her an unforgettable way to experience life under sail.
