Tasmanian Sailing Academy and Tasmanian Institute of Sport members are busy packing up boats to take part in the Sail Down Under Series as well as national titles and youth championships.

25 plus members are sailing laser radial's, 4.7's, 420's, BicTechno and 470's.

The photo above is of four lasers, one 470 and one rib being towed by a Golf!! (If Volkswagon are looking for a promo for their vehicles this would be a great!)
