S2H, Go-No Go?

Impressive hey! You’d think they’d beat 70-80’rs but riding a 125’ ass & ahead of Rambler 88 is pretty cool neither of which are not bad boats for the angle. 

Must be those autopilots hey!

Haha Alex’s mustn’t be working

If Tokyo can run the Olympics surely Tasmania should let us in! 

IOC ran the Olympic$, Tokyo had little to do with it apart from being the venue.

 

[Happy Sailor]

Do you think crews will want to go if they still run it? Could be a lot of "turn and burns". Airlie Beach is still going ahead but Hamilton Island canned...

The electability of the Tasmanian Premier is directly related to him keeping the moat (Bass Strait) in place.

Don't see that changing.

Yeah Premiers of strict lockdown states like WA & QLD were returned but the tide is turning now. Tasmania is a decade behind though, so they’ll be the last to change tacks.

So if the Sydney isn't going ahead, who from Melbourne or Queensland is gonna come down and have a crack at a Launceston or West Coaster Race? 

 

[Ripple Rider]

I'm going against popular opinion and voting for optimism that the Hobart will proceed, no restrictions. 

I say this on the basis of vaccination rates rising across Australia. Tassie is actually the highest state for vaccination rates across their population, albeit a small population. 

Get the boat ready to go south I say. 

Blindly optimistic, maybe, but it is better than hopeless pessimism in my opinion.

The only way it happens is if 80% of people in Australia are vaccinated by then.

 

[Livia]

Don't think that Tasmania has a first world health care system.

At the start of this there were only 9 ventilators in the whole state.

There has ben one new hospital built since 1959 from memory.

and that was one that an Co vid outbreak last year

No govt will put the oldest population in the country try at risk.

Hobart will be very unlikely unless NSW gets completely clean

Problem is this, I have been trying to my powerboat back from Tas for a few months now.

with lockdowns you have to run the risk of steaming almost the entire length of NSW coast without shelter if it turns to crap.

You could shelter but them you can't enter Old and you get 14 days quarantine even if you can.

So you have to stay at sea regardless weather.

Not smart.

 

[Livia]

There is another issue, even if vaccinated, you hop on a boat with a positive, chances of getting infected by Hobart.

About %100.

At least you would want proof everyone on the boat is vaccinated and ideally negative in the days before the start.

Your call

idle curiosity asks where the 80 figure comes from ?

most sources indicate 70 to move forward on the road map .

Last I saw, road-map phase 3 was 70%, phase 4 was 80%

phase 3 was reduced lock-downs etc, phase 4 was removal of all border closures...

Tracking the Covid-19 vaccine rollout in Australia
Showing the number of Australians that are fully vaccinated, the federal government's original rollout goal and the 70% and 80% vaccination thresholds set by the government. If the current average rate of 102.0k second doses per day continues, Australia will vaccinate 80% of the 16+ population around 04/12/2021. The government's Operation Covid Shield document suggests the vaccinating 80% of the population aged 16 and over is achievable by December 2021. Last updated 12 August, 2021

Not a hope in hell. The country is run by a pack of scared shit fucking retards. 

1 case and Canberra is locked down. FFS

1 Case in Sydney in early June.  We know who he was, just an ordinary joe earning a living.  Fast forward 8 weeks and thousands of infections and dozens of deaths have ensued.  Gold standard contact tracing in NSW has hit the wall with this volume of infections and we are on the edge of a precipice.  Get a sense of perspective dude.

 

[Swanno]

i fucking retard. 

I fixed your sentence for you.

I did read something the other day comparing Covid to Glitter.

If one person does some artwork with Glitter, how many people end up with glitter on them?

I thought it was a good way to explain it to simple people so hope you appreciate it.

Gladys is living with the virus but calling it a lockdown. 

 

[DickDastardly]

Gladys is living with the virus but calling it a lockdown. 

We've no idea to be truthful.  Gladys repeats the slogan "Delta is a game changer" frequently, but thus far hasn't explained how she's actually changed the game to suit.
