|
This page is updated regularly, all the latest news, information, updates and changes are always announced here.
|
At this time it is difficult to keep our website updated with news from the scheduled destinations as our staff are travelling across Indonesia where the internet is either not working or poor quality and the participants also have the same problems.
The fleet of yachts that left from Darwin are not keeping in touch with us so we cannot know where they are and they do not use the radio nets we have scheduled so it is not possible to know where they are at this time.

Click List of Entries to see the list of participants for 2010. The fleet barbeque was held on Saturday night at the Darwin Sailng Club with over 300 guests. It was a great success where many crews were able to meet fellow sailors for the first time.
As with any event there were some last minute cancellations and in most cases these cancellations have been caused by mechanical problems and these yachts have decided to join our rally in 2011.
|
The Technical Briefing was held in at the Holiday Inn on July 20 where all participants attended and were informed of the last minute updates, the yachts and their crews are now in the final stages of preparation for their 3 month journey across Indonesia. |
At this time we already have over 80 expressions of interest to join Sail Indonesia for 2011, so you are planning to join our rally next year please let us know as soon as you can and we will include you on our mailing list. |
