The Row Raid for Rape Crisis covers over 150 nautical miles of the Tasmanian coast. The journey to Tasmania covers 4 main events as part of the sponsorship. The first leg is the Row Raid TN17, which ends as a part of the Australian Wooden Boat Festival, where I will be participating show casing Scottish sea rowing. The second leg is the Return Raid, a trade route to the heart of Tasmania to the colonial township of Franklin, which hosts at the end the the journey the Franklin Regatta. A growing number of Scottish Skiffs from around Australia will come to compete using their traditional rowing skills, racing in a three day event from the 17th to the 19th of February.

This is all linked to an amazing organisation called the Living Boat Trust in Australia. They promote traditional boating and help communities across Australia to build, restore, row and sail as a community. Some boats have an incredible story, like the fast boat, built by a crew who have all recovered from strokes and are promoting the response to strokes to save lives. It will be an honour to row the Australian built Scottish Sciffs.
