This regatta is the second stop on the Australian circuit of the State Title Series, with the Queensland State Titles completed in October 2012. We are excited to be able to showcase exceptional One Design racing against the backdrop of Hobart’s magnificent harbour and anticipate highly competitive, international standard racing among the crews. We have five Tasmanian boats competing in the fleet this weekend and have been joined by four interstate boats who have travelled to be a part of this inaugural event. Previously Tasmanian owners have had to travel interstate to compete against Farr 40 fleets of any significant size. This year, with the introduction of the Australian Series, the intent of the Association is to provide quality race management and venues outside of Sydney and support the growth of local fleets. Visiting crews in October’s Queensland event were thrown challenging conditions in a regatta punctuated by big winds and strong tides. The Tasmanian fleet will certainly benefit from intimate knowledge of the race course in Hobart, and conditions can also be unpredictable. It is certainly going to be a great event for our spectator flotilla. The race management committee has designed a terrific programme for our competitors, and hope you will enjoy the racing and competition on the weekend of the 5-6 January. More importantly, the close racing and thrills and spills are underpinned by a great sense of camaraderie amongst the competitors. Our Farr 40 fleet love racing, and love racing each other and the spirit of competition is infectious. We look forward to seeing you out there.

Contact us www.aberdeenasset.com.au [email protected] 4 The Aberdeen Asset Management Farr 40 Australian Series About Farr 40 Farr 40 sailing is a contest between evenly matched 40-foot racing boats, helmed by their skilled and competitive amateur owners and guided by world-renowned tacticians. Boats in the Farr 40 class must meet strict One Design criteria. One Design racing in Australia is widely celebrated through successful classes such as Etchells and dinghy Olympic classes including the Lasers and 470s. The Farr 40 class follows similar principles in racing and complies with specific One Design rules; boats have been built to a specific design and competing boats in the class are not permitted to make amendments to the design. Any competitive advantage must be derived by the skill of the skipper and crew. Unique to the Farr 40 class is that the One Design rules are internationally governed, dictate an owner driver rule and impose limitations on number of professional crew members. The Farr 40 fleet in Australia consists of 27 boats, 20 of which will compete in the 2012/13 Farr 40 Australia Series. Crews in this Class consist of yachting luminaries such as Tom Slingsby, Malcolm Page, Mathew Belcher, Nathan Outteridge & Nina Curtis – all successful competitors in the London 2012 Olympic Games. The Tasmanian Farr 40 State Titles is the second of a three part State Title series, held in Queensland (27-28 October 2012), Tasmania (4-6 January 2013) and New South Wales (16-17 February 2013). The pinnacle event for the Australian Farr 40 Association is the National Titles, which will be held in Sydney on 22-24 February 2013. www.farr40.asn.au The Aberdeen Asset Management Farr 40 Australian Series 15 The Aberdeen Tasmanian State Title Bellerive Yacht Club 64 Cambridge Rd, Bellerive, Tasmania Schedule of official events Friday 4 January 18:00 AEDST Invitational Twilight Race Saturday 5 January 11:00 AEDST Racing commences Sunday 6 January 11:00 AEDST Racing commences The Race Committee intends to conduct as many races as practicable on each scheduled date of racing, up to a maximum of six races for the series.
