Video: Towing a Weta Trimaran - Myk Ryan

July 13th, 2018

June 01st, 2018

Four Wetas arrived at Yarra Bay Sailing Club overlooking Botany Bay, the container terminal and the flightpath to Sydney airport. So while it may not be the most attractive location, the water is clean and clear and the breakwater provides a great flat water sailing area.
