The team

Lorraine Yates – Business Manager

Growing up in Sydney, Lorraine studied at the University of NSW before moving to Canberra to master her skills as consultant project manager and senior policy advisor with both the Australian and NSW Governments in the health and education sectors.

Strong ties to Sydney’s working harbour eventually drew her back where she founded and operated well known commercial fleet H2O Taxis for ten years. She is the co-owner of the successfully campaigned Sparkman and Stephens classic racing yacht Komatsu Azzurro, a story becoming legendary in ocean racing circles.

Tilly Lang – Marine Service Advisor

Tilly is born and bred in Balmain. Growing up sailing in the area, and working as an instructor at Drummoyne Sailing Club, she has a wealth of local knowledge and an understanding of the boat owner’s requirements.

Recently graduated from the University of Sydney, Tilly puts her enthusiasm and her methodological skills to work for her clients.
