 2020 sees the advent of the mixed gender two-handed Hobart race with some duos already announcing their intent.
In this politically correct world we live in, how can we have a two handed mixed gender crew? It should be 3, 4 or 5 handed (Lost track of how many genders there are in this supposed non-binary world)

Sex, or gender? I'm so confused.

Criteria should be 'can the crew make a baby'
don't ruin the fantasy

My prediction is that DaChopper and DouG Lord end up murdering each other in a foil fueled love battle before the race even starts.

NSW police rejected my application for a bit of space on New Beach Rd this year due to the size of my sandwich board, It was deemed to be a hindrance to pedestrian traffic

So I’m downscaling for this year and focusing on one of the most coveted possessions in Australian Sailing...the junkets lanyard.

So is anyone willing to speculate as to what shape the 2020 S2H will be in?

Presumably social distancing restrictions will be eased by then, so maybe fully crewed boat can sail. Pre and post race gathering will possibly still face restrictions so maybe the CYCA might be forced to restrict the number of entries?

Boats that had planned to enter this year might skip it due to the lack of crew training time or just to be cautious?

Two handed division might perhaps get extra entries? and maybe the CYCA will introduce a 4 crew plus A/P crewing option (like ORCV has)?

Any thoughts?

Oh yeah, what is the forecast?

Be all good, cross the finish line then have to serve out a 14 day in Quarantine Bay on Bruny.

Just like the Spanish flu quarantine in 1919.

Kept it out of Hobart until a Hobart publican's daughter contracted it and it spread in town.

Wonder what she was doing?
