Re: Sydney To Hobart 2015-2016

:thumb: can you work out how many boats are in each Division? And what does each Division mean? Which one is the 'cruising' Division?

Re: Sydney To Hobart 2015-2016

This is why I put it as 2015-2016, Myuna III - SYC is still coming down the East Coast. I doubt they will be in before midnight. The race doesn't finish until the last one is in. :biggrin:

Re: Sydney To Hobart 2015-2016

Re: Sydney To Hobart 2015-2016
