Anyone keen to come down to Tassie and get a taste of the great west coast.
No doubt you've all heard of the legendary Marrawah, well there'll be a few guys from Tassie and Vic meeting the week starting 8th January for hopefully some epic fun wave sailing.

To top this off we'll be heading to Hawley (only 30 mins from the Tassie ferry at Devonport) the next weekend 15-16th Jan for a Slalom Racing/GPS/Fun weekend.

Jump on the boat, knock back a few quiet ales, sleep, wake up and drive only 2 hours and you're at Marrawah, fantastic experience.

the apple ilse must be dotted with spots to sail and i remember back in the day mark paul did a column in freesail i think ( now im showing my age) and it looked and sounded classic!
might make it down your way one day and get amoungst the roaring 40's now that im only 4 hours from the ferry not 8 and a bit over WA as a sailing holiday

i was over there for xmas visiting my grandad afew years ago in devenport and it never stopped blowing,you could have sailed every day,the north coast had plenty of options,.only problem was it was cold,the locals wewre getting around in shorts and tshirts-max16degrees.
the mount reminded me alot of tassie with its weatherboards,rolling terrain and climate,you would feel right at home pilchard
