RYCT wishes crews good luck
A function was held last night at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania to farewell skippers and crews off to compete in this years Rolex Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
A highlight to all was the appearance of Tony Bullimore who took a break from preparing for his round the world record challenge to come and bid the crews good luck. The crew from Creative inTension/Whistler and Saileski were happy to offer their services for a shakedown of the boat as it readies for his next adventure.
