A short season maybe, but all their stars were in alignment in 2020 - Tom Dolan on his Figaro 3 Smurfit Kappa
The Figaro Solo was arguably the peak in sailing competition – both inshore and offshore – in Europe during 2020. In a truncated and contorted season, somehow the crème de la creme of international solo sailing were guided into a contest which – in late August and early September - complied with pandemic regulations, and yet provided out-and-out competition of the highest order, in which a final placing in the top half of the fleet was an achievement of world standard.
The lots comprise of one 40.47ha property currently operating as a strawberry farm, complete with underground water supply and dams. END OF AN ERA: The last of the pioneering Roy family land has hit the market overlooking Pumicestone Passage. The second lot is a 2.64ha waterfront homestead, with a four-bedroom home and in-ground pool with frontage to the Pumicestone Passage and its own jetty, as well as a packing shed, machinery and storage sheds. The property sits about eight kilometres from the Bruce Hwy and was being marketed as an idea site for horticulture or turf farming, as well as agritourism ventures.

Due to the uncertainty around Covid-19 the event will be limited to 50 boats as outlined by Anthony O Neill, Regatta Director. Our reason for making this revision to our plans for the event is driven by the potential uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic and the restrictions that may be required at different times during 2021. We are taking the prudent approach that will allow maximum flexibility to proceed with the event given the capacity of our clubhouse and marina.
