 February 2017 is shaping up to be a very big month for small boats in the south of Tasmania, with much of the action happening in and around Franklin. The Living Boat Trust in Franklin is once again organising a 10-day small boat expedition starting at Recherche Bay at the very edge of Tasmania’s southwest wilderness and finishing in Hobart in time to join the sail past at the start of the Australian Wooden Boat Festival (AWBF). Row or sail in company through stunning coastal scenery, camping at exclusive locations and being fed by our expedition chef - what better way to arrive at the festival? The tawe nunnugah Raid (tn17) runs from 1-10 February 2017, is fully catered and costs only $1080 per person. Bring your own boat, or book a spot on one of the LBT’s expedition boats.

This is a self-catered sail/row in company from Hobart to Franklin with a small cost to cover safety boats and other expenses.
