 Enjoy Being Aboard a Weekend of Wooden Boats
 The Kettering Yacht Club and the Wooden Boat Guild of Tasmania invite you to join in a rally of wooden boats on the D’Entrecasteaux Channel.
Sailing vessels, motor boats and dinghies are all welcome to join the fun, but all participating vessels must have wood as their principal construction material.

Programme of Events
General Instructions for Participants
Briefly:
This time we've added to the program:
- A Friday night twilight race (open to all sailing boats)
- The Derwent Class "World Championships" on Saturday (A series of short races from 10:30 am. Come early and have a look)
- Rowing and paddling events on Saturday, so that you can also compete in the sailing on Sunday
For the Sunday morning and afternoon sailing events starts will be in small groups at regular intervals - details will be in the sailing directions.
The Social side will be on again. There will be a Saturday evening meal and get together under the marquee at the KYC Clubhouse, and breakfast on Sunday and Monday mornings, also at the KYC Clubhouse.
The Rally dinner and prizegiving will be held at the Oyster Cove Inn on Sunday evening. Numbers are limited, so early booking is the way to go.
This year there is a new management team in at the Inn, led by Peter Burke (Peter was involved in the establishmemnt of KYC in a previous sojurn in Kettering). They have promised us a great event on Sunday night, with a smorgasboard feast of roast meats (pork, lamb or beef) with roast potato and salads, and a choice of desserts, for only $35.00.
