We are asking all competitors heading to Japan for the 2017 Tasar World Titles, to jump online and enter today! Yes entries are now open and getting in early is encouraged for the running of an enjoyable & well organised Regatta.
AUS have now 4 containers going to Japan. We have 2 from Victoria, 1 from NSW and 1 from WA. We have been very busy sourcing Lease boats for UK and USA competitors due to the high cost of container travel arrangements. Well done to all those who have assisted finding Lease boats for all who needed them. If you need any specific container details, contact :
NSW/ACT it's Rob Douglass on rob@sunsetmedia.com) with your details and have your deposit ready to go!

Our Japanese hosts have also placed some handy information on their website, including a brief from Paul Ridgway about race conditions at pre worlds, commuting by bullet train from Tokyo to Gamagori & touring. An array of airlines fly both into Tokyo (Narita & Haneda Airports) with direct flights offered by both JAL and ANA as well as Qantas
If anyone is late entering, and/or has questions regarding Tasar Worlds 2017, please contact your State/ Territory representative, or the ATC (Adrian Nicholson: anicholson@mmal.com.au).
