On Tap was returning from the Hobart race being sailed single handed when it was smashed in a big blow off the southern NSW coast. EPIRB was deployed and 3 ships went to his aid. A line was thrown from one ship but fouled On Tap's prop. Steve was finally winched off buy helicopter. On Tap regularly sails at our club so it will be missed. I don't know much more at the moment, but at least the Steve is Ok.
Steve's origional plan after Hobart was to sail single handed down to Macquarie Island than round NZ before heading back to Brisbane . So I am not exactly sure where he was up to. I will probably hear more in the next couple of weeks as word gets round the club.
