Getting to Tasmania
You’ll be towing a boat, so you’ll need to know that The Spirit of Tasmania Ferry services now depart from Geelong for Devonport return (NOT from Melbourne City). It offers both day trip and overnight services. The evening service with cabin is a much better experience than the day trip and recliner seating. Book your voyage at your early to guarantee availability of service at the date and time you desire.
See Spirit of Tasmania for more information. https://www.spiritoftasmania.com.au
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Sean or any of the Tasmanian sailors if you want to know anything about the event or location. We are keen to share our amazing club and its distinctive locations and surrounds with you. There is plenty for non-sailors to enjoy with a perfect blend of natural and cultural wonders for all ages and interests. Please come and join us in 2024 for the 53rd Australian National Championship.
