22.01.2022 Merry Christmas adventurers!!! For Adventures Weekly on 26 December 2020 we were LIVE and paying tribute to the Great Race, the Rolex Sydney Hobart, and what m...ight have been at 1pm AEST "Downunder". As sailors we are used to putting safety first, so while it is an extremely weird feeling - the best thing we can do is re-live some memories and look forward to more! Join us for some fun trivia featuring key players in the race, as well as a look back through the years thanks to the Cruising Yacht Club Of Australia and their incredible archives. Lots of prizes to come over the next few days thanks to Harken Australia, Musto Australasia and Bollé Australia! Tune in or check out our Instagram/Facebook stories or send us your own Hobart memories to win! Here's to bringing some Hobart cheer to one strange old year - lots of love, Sailor Girl - Nic xx See more
