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.
