It all changes after December 15th for domestic travellers. Sure will need to be fully vaxed and proof of negative covid test but otherwise the Tas border is open so the S2H can go ahead. Of course the new variant could change this quickly but I personally haven't seen anything yet from official Tas govt sources. anyone see the problem with this rule for some competitors? Travellers who have spent time in a high-risk area in the 14 days before their travel to Tasmania will have to have a negative COVID-19 test 72 hours before arrival in Tasmania.

At least they have a testing exemption for locals who do a short trip, which Anna cannot get her head around. When 90 per cent of eligible people 12 years and older are fully vaccinated All Tasmanians 12 years and older have had the opportunity to be vaccinated Open 15 December 2021 Domestic travel Vaccinated travellers From 15 December 2021, travellers aged 12 years and two months and older, including returning residents, will need to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (unless exempt) to enter Tasmania without the need to quarantine. Children under the age of 12 years and 2 months will be treated as a vaccinated person for the purposes of travel to Tasmania, and thus will be subject to the same conditions. Travellers who have spent time in a high-risk area in the 14 days before their travel to Tasmania will have to have a negative COVID-19 test 72 hours before arrival in Tasmania. This applies to all travellers aged 5 and above. The testing requirement will not apply to travellers who have been out of Tasmania for fewer than seven days. Children under 18 years of age may be required to submit an individual travel registration. Proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test (for travellers from high-risk areas) may be required to be provided on arrival in Tasmania. Travellers who cannot provide evidence of the required vaccination or testing (for travellers from high-risk areas) on arrival will be directed to isolate until they can provide the evidence or return a negative COVID-19 result. Tasmanian residents will be able to isolate in suitable premises if they meet all the eligibility criteria. Non-Tasmanian residents will be required to isolate in a government-managed facility until they can provide the evidence, or are approved to remain in isolation, or return to their point of departure if not approved to enter Tasmania.

mccroc 312 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Even though I will probably get called a pedant, I noticed quite a few of the yachts in the Cabbage Tree Island race have nav lights that don't satisfy the Special Regs - namely that: 3.23.3 Navigation lights shall not be mounted below deck level and should be at no less height than immediately under the upper lifeline. Law Connect's lights were just on the height of the lower lifeline, as were many others.

SCANAS 585 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Give SW a new lighter rig, an open budget with North’s, Stan Honey in the Nav seat & she would be right there in the mix. Hobart wise, they have always been a bit off with the routing IMO & short course it sails well heeled compared to the other skinny boats. Perhaps she has more water ballast than the others which she can’t use around the harbour. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The crew of the catamaran sent out a Mayday at 1255 and activated their EPIRB, climbing into two dinghies to await rescue. Marine Rescue Ulladulla rescue vessel UL30 was responded, and with guidance from a Royal Australian Navy helicopter from HMAS Albatross that had been deployed to assist, and the signal from the crew's EPIRB, quickly located the striken vessel. The Naval helicopter remained after their arrival with life rafts ready to drop should they have been required. Arriving at the stricken catamaran just after 2pm, UL30 took the crew of three on board and then delivered them safely back to dry land at Ulladulla, with all on board safe and well. A securite is current for all ships in the area advising a navigational hazard from the sinking vessel at 35 17.427 South 150 46.656 East.

Livia 1,086 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 14 days out so close enough to be talking weather. So snowed in the front yard in mid November, very very wet November. So very late Spring. Low in the coral sea. Plenty of hot water going south. We have deferred the West coast cruise until late February. Summer will run late in to May. Game on! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the lead Gorn.Been reading up on Love & War.What a great boat with 3 previous Wins to its name.Looks impeccable.The S&S 34’s are very popular over here.According to the boys Crux is in the 2 Handed Class and was basically unbeatable over here when it was called Blondie but it is ineligible for the win.It seems the White Bay S&S 34 is one of the best small boats.Thinking that could be good value as well.Maybe it is just me but it would be great to see a classic older well sailed boat win the thing.My mate dropped around a dozen long necks of his latest Home Brew earlier this arvo.Absolute rocket fuel.Might save me having to buy some paint stripper for the New Year Reno’s/ Maintenance.Really looking forward to following this years race.Fingers crossed there are no last minute Covid hurdles.

I'll throw in a tenner for Maritimo. Since @Livia has opened the weather door I'll throw in my two pence. Reachy/Downwind on start day, building in pressure, backing to the south with breeze on for the 27th (front runners), then some nasty upwind work come the 28th. Lighter winds across the course later on for the smaller fleet. I'm going for a bigger boat that can go upwind for handicap win. Hence Maritimo. But, I'm not ready to buy that lottery ticket yet!

Line honours it will be, Looking forward to this year episode of S2H. Go Speedboat aka Law Connect or Scallywag. 54 foot Westerly Maritimo certainly looks promissing, great.

bushsailor 146 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Maritimo would do very well on handicap upwind. She rates very well. DK 46 also has the potential to do well upwind, they go very well upwind in breeze. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
