Latest message is that it is still on.
Give it a week, the way things are going around here we might all be under curfew by then!

Yeah, I saw a notification that the multihull race was cancelled but nothing about the mono side
Press release yesterday indicates otherwise.
Shame, but the right call, was keen for my first this year.

QCYC were talking tough only a few days ago, but with everyone else pulling the pin on events it was inevitable they would have to fold. I am told that Coffs will be next to go, a number of high profile entrants have already told the organisers they are pulling out.

I'm marketing the Pogo in a new Coronavirus Social Distancing Aware Sail Charter business. I can fit 6 in the cockpit and still be compliant 
h34r:
In the meantime we're practicing our what-the-fuck-do-we-do-when-the-curfew-is-implemented social distancing hobbies. So I pulled the hydraulic control system for the keel out and we're re-purposing it into a still.
The idea is to a popup brewery service at a socially acceptable distance to yachties on the Bay deprived of their regular drinking venue. You just have to come out to the 3m LAT gradient as I can't lift the bloody keel now.
We tried doing a run of VB for Ox, but found it was eating away at the billet aluminium. So we tried a run of Budwieser and found you needed dainty soft cock plastics with lace dollies and a teapot cosy. This bespoke brewery gig is harder than I thought.
If they ban men tinkering in sheds together I'm going to bring down the government.
