Gillawa

 

Gillawa’s crew last year showed great perseverance to continue on across Bass Strait after sheltering from the gales, finally finishing after 6 days and 19 hours at sea.  David Kent has restored Gillawa as a training vessel to give ACT sailors the chance to sail beyond the confines of Lake Burley Griffin.
