Submitted by glastronomic on Sat, 2011-07-30 13:33
Next week is the Avon Descent spectacle and this year the event is part of an international Championship.
Who is going and or participating?
Question;
Is the Swan river on day 2 closed where this event is happening or are other boats able to moor off and watch the spectackle from their Gin palace and roar around in a dinghy filming etc the event?

I was informed that the river is open to all boats as per usual so the second day.

The Boaties chop their way through the yakkers on day 2, hence the SSsharp props.

what was the water conditions like?
As an X competitior always nice to remember. My years where 1996 and 7. 1996 was awesome. Supershoot, Syds, Bells all easy, apart fthe huge stopper at the top off Syds. So water makes a huge difference.
