⛵ NT Minnows Shout Out! ⛵
Last weekend one of our NT Minnow sailors braved the chilly Hobart conditions to compete at Youth Sail TAS.
A huge congratulations to Willem Smith, who placed 3rd in the Open Optimist Division – an incredible result! 🥉
Traveling interstate to compete is always a big step, and doing it in a new boat makes the achievement even more impressive. We’re very proud of Willem’s effort and determination on the water.
Well done Willem! 👏⛵

Happy 80th to Ian Batenburg! One of the people who started the Minnows in the NT!
