Only 10 days to go before the F18 Nationals at Magnetic Island Race Week. In Townsville today it is 26o and sunny with a fresh afternoon sea breeze. I know where I would rather be. So pack your boat and boardies and head north for some fun in the sun.

Registration closes this Friday 26th August. If you have not yet entered register and pay online at https://secure.tetra-australia.com/mirw/entry_form.cfm

Event info Attached is a newsletter from the race committee with all the latest details. For all the details about race week go to the website https://www.magneticislandraceweek.com.au/index.cfm?eid=927

Barge We have sponsorship for barging our boats onto the island. I have been trying to contact Mick Guinea, as I’m not sure if we have to book a time for the barge trip. The details will follow in the next email.

Rigging At this event we will not be rigging on grass or sand. The rigging area is an asphalt car park and boat ramp. You will need foam pads to protect your hulls from damage.
