I think its the first weekend in April this year. I'll probably be there on one boat or another if I'm not working. Its a much more subdued event these days compared to a few years ago... some may see that as a good thing I guess.

We have our took our Ketch down south for AWBF. We are keeping her at the RYCT for a while keen to explore! What is the program for Barnes Bay?

I think it's one race from Wrest Point in Hobart down to Dennes Point (tip of north Bruny). Then another race from Quarrantine Bay or thereabouts and around that region of the channel.

Good one, you should have a good weekend! I thought about entering Mawson, but I'm not quite there yet with the boat prep. Maybe next year!

I sure have Don.
Shaun the owner is a mate from my teens so a very long time friend. We grew up surfing and windsurfing together.
Shaun myself and other northern mate stew will be the oldies trimming the esky with the younguns on the foredeck it will be an experience i am very much looking forward to.
