The October Classic Boat Day is on Thursday the 16th and will be mainly for trailerable boats and smaller cruisers based out of the Goolwa region. The plan is to be at the Clayton Bay Ramp from 9.30am to launch boats and then be underway at around 10.30am. Then cruise upstream to Rat Island for lunch and return later in the afternoon. This is a particularly good event for those who don’t have access to a boat and who would like to travel with somebody else. Please contact Stephen for help. This is a part of the river that many members have travelled, but have not actually landed on Rat Island, which will be our lunch stop.

Stephen Conway is the event manager for the day, his contact details are above and below..

If you are going to participate please register online at the WBASA website, registration allows us to contact members participating and let them know in case we have any change to the event. Stephen will keep an eye on the weather forecast and keep those people who have registered  an interest to attend informed of any changes to the program the day prior.

Please bring along all your catering needs as there are no shops at Clayton Bay or Rat Island.

Be mindful of new life jacket / PDF requirements now enforced by Marine Safety.

A two way radio is very helpful at these events, the WBASA preferred UHF channel is 27.

These Classic Boat Days are a great way to get your boat wet, enjoy the company of like minded boaties and chill out. Make sure you note the dates in your WBASA calendar and get along. They are also a great way to test your boat out, get some advice about anything you need and of course check out the other boats. Support to launch and retrieve your boat, getting a tow if needed (yes, boats do breakdown) and best of all the opportunity to get your boat’s photo in the WBASA calendar are all good reasons to join in!
