Club Racing Tasmanian Sharpie Association - special edition Well the big news around the traps is the present national champion has booked his accommodation, flights and transport. What with the promise of big breezes and cold beer it should be warming up to be the biggest nationals since Largs Bay, minus the northerlies but with the addition of the famous southerly busters that those Sydney fools beat into every year! There has even been some silent whispers that the 29 foot Kel Steinmen One Steel is for sale, and presently there are 2 sharpie crews sailing onboard every week! Maybe we can talk a few to put there bums on the side of a sharpie! Training has been only for the die hard but ex-sharpie legend Wellsy (GM) perched high from his recent addition has witnessed first hand, one sharpie out there on consecutive weekends. Salts has pulled the cut off saw from the construction site and has started rejuvenating the "Men Behaving Badly" with an Ant Mitton refit. For those who haven’t sailed in Hobart before you'll be happy to know that the weather changes quicker than a Port Power season, but with the venue change and a bar upgrade at Sandy Bay Sailing Club things are looking in shape. So for those contemplating the crossing, throw that guilt aside, check the wheel bearings and fill the car.... Well what the bloody hell are you waiting for. Lara Bingle look a likes are here and waiting!

They scraped up some of the older Sharpies and sent in some photos. The Goose made an appearance (very fitting as we enter the age of Aquarius!) and despite many years of sitting in a shed showed no signs of neglect and sailed with no leaks, no rot and with all original gear working. The IF made it as well and took home the Sharpie trophy.
