Be a part of the crew (as active as you want to be) in a real yacht race aboard a 62 foot Sydney to Hobart veteran, Helsal IV. No experience necessary. learn the ropes or sit back and hang on.
Wear clothes to keep warm and dry on the river and grippy shoes (sole colour doesn’t matter).
Twilight yacht races on the Derwent River are a magnificent tradition in Hobart; be a part of it and get your heart racing too.
This season we are racing on Thursday evenings at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania - the club that hosts the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race - and the Derwent Sailing Squadron.
DATES FOR 2020:
Every Thursday from October 15 to December 10 (included)
Helsal IV leaves King’s Pier Marina at 5:15 and returns at approximately 7:00pm. Helsal IV is the last yacht on the far left of the marina.
Cost – $95 per person.
Private Charters are also available on request.
