The St Ayles Skiff Championships (Tasmania) 2015

We are currently organising the 2017 championships: tasskiffie2017.org

These championships were held as part of The Australian Wooden Boat Festival (6th-9th Feb) and in the town of Franklin, 12th-15th February under the auspices of the Living Boat Trust.   They were organised by the 'Women on the Water (WOW)' group of the LBT.  See the Consolidated Results for placings in events.
