High Speeds At Cape Hillsborough

Blokarters from as far afield as New Zealand competed at the recent Cape Hillsborough regatta.

New Zealand representative blokarter Ash Rawson gave lessons on land sailing and there were competitors from Victoria and South Australia as well as locals enjoying the races with 27 blokarts on Cape Hillsborough, where spectators can get up close to the action.

The club also sails at Bucasia Beach every second week when the tide is suitable.

Young and old alike can get into this exhilarating sport, contact George Camilleri of the Central Queensland Blokart Club on 0418 982 292.
