The Jeanneau owners from the
Australian island
of Tasmania gathered for
a weekend of friendly racing and fun in early February. No less than 16 Sun
Odyssey and one Merry Fisher accepted the invitation from Boat Sales Tasmania, who has the
particularity to be Jeanneau's most southern distributor.
The fleet gathered in
the famous D'Entrecastaux Channel on saturday at noon for a cheese and pate
degustation, providing forces to the crews for the upcoming friendly regatta...
in dead calm - proof that the Forties are not always roaring in Hobart.
The Jeanneau boats
then headed towards Bruny island and anchored in a beautiful cove. A festive
dinner was organised on shore and the best crew of the day was presented with
the "Golden Anchor" award.
Late at night crews got back on board
their boats and enjoyed a beautiful calm night in the comfort of their berths.
After a hearty breakfast served on shore the next morning, each boat headed
back to its home port. Everybody had a great time and the idea of a local
owners' club germinated to repeat such gatherings in the future.
