Successful 66th Boags Navigation Cruise
The 2025 RYCT, 66th J Boag and Sons Navigation Trial was a huge success. There were 80 Participants either on board control boats or as competitors who enjoyed agreeable weather conditions for the entire weekend. The course was set by last year's winners the crew of K-Louisa under the leadership of Roger King.
Day 1 – An innovation was that Friday night was a time trial ending at Blight Point. The fleet came to anchor at Alexanders Bay for the night whilst enjoying an Aurora Australis event.
Day 2 – Saturday’s Navigation Trial consisted of 8 legs requiring navigators to successfully complete the navigation challenges set to arrive at the correct Waypoint at the correct time.
A ropework challenge and quiz was set for the competitors and controls
Lunch was a shore Waypoint at Spirit of Bruny Gin Distillery at Simpsons Bay. The Trial concluded at Port Esperance Sailing Club (Dover). At the club 69 participants enjoyed a hearty meal and delicious desert prepared by PESC. Others joined for a drink only. It is great for this event to support local business and smaller clubs and promotes the activities of the RYCT.
On the Sunday, a successful raft up was held at Oyster Bay in the upper channel, where the Boag's sponsored barrel was enjoyed.
This event attracted only 9 entrants, down on the 22 from last year and 11 and 14 from the previous years. Feedback from volunteers and participants has been overwhelmingly positive.
The winner this year was BEAVER skippered by Tony Chamberlain with navigator, Leigh Pilkington and best Novice Navigator was Scott Logie Saelith.
