The response to our call for Expressions of Interest has been excellent including EOIs for 15 private vessels (the ‘Privateers’) promising an interesting and diverse fleet. If everyone confirms, more than half the available places are already filled. Several regulars (you know who you are) have told me you intend joining tn19 but haven’t yet lodged an EOI. Today I sent out an email to everyone who has submitted an EOI – if you didn’t get an email from me you have not submitted an EOI and are not on the priority list. Please don’t leave it too late – we use the EOIs to keep track of numbers and have a strict limit so we don’t overload the lovely sites we visit or overwork the chef. If you lodge your EOI now you will be on our priority list and guaranteed a place so long as you meet our safety requirements and pay by the due date (to be advised).

As a priority the tn19 Safety Committee is now assessing the EOIs of the Privateers - people bringing their own boats - so that they can make arrangements including booking on the Spirit of Tasmania and registering for the AWBF if applicable.  If you haven’t done so already, get your EOI in now at:
