I just thought I might start a thread on what looks like a great little race - the last of the affordable ones. The safety is Cat 3+, it's run under AMS and PHS, and it still gets a bunch of 30 footers, a 27 footer and now a 22 foot Mini Transat.

There's a good yacht tracker on the site so you can keep an eye on a bunch of the sort of boats we can own as they race down the east coast.

This race is definitely on my bucket list now that the Sydney to Hobart is just a big-boat fest. The last time we had anything like this in NSW was in the early 2000s when the Sydney-Batemans Bay race was on. It was a cracker of an event.

It'll all be fine till the trophy hunters move in and wreck it.

We followed fleet out to heads of the Tamar River, it was certainly exciting to watch!

cool Parkster, looks like a fun day out !!

Now there is an entry list I can get excited about. There is a Hobie 33. I can never understand why more people have not imported these. Fairly cheap to buy, sea worthy, trailable.

One of the half tonners, Lawless, is doing splendidly; only a few miles behind a Sydney 38 and a Benny 40.7. The Supersonic 27 at the back is now rolling along well. Great to see affordable and tough little boats racing offshore.
