Julien Firmenich joined the TF35 class in 2023, bringing together a crew that blends seasoned Lake Geneva sailors with top international talent. At the helm of Ylliam 17, Firmenich reflects: “It’s a great challenge and a fantastic boat. I’ve surrounded myself with extraordinary sailors—highly professional and used to racing together at the highest level. Being at the helm is intense, but the strong sense of control on board makes the experience much more serene for me.”
In the 2024 TF35 Trophy, Ylliam 17 finished fifth overall, showing steady progress and gaining valuable experience throughout the season. With a solid foundation in place, the team now looks ahead to 2025 with the goal of sharpening their performance and breaking into the top tier of the fleet.
