News from the Tasmanian Section
RINA Tasmanian Section supported the annual Schools Solar Boat Challenge, held on Saturday 25 November 2023 at Clarence High School. Unfortunately, it rained on the day; however, enough UV light penetrated to ensure that all vessels performed well.
Chris Davies spoke with the National Organiser who is very keen to take the challenge nationally to all Australian schools in encouraging primary and early high school students on STEM. In fact, one teacher from Hobart High School is specifically going to run a complete Solar Boat class next year, the program so far has been such a success.
The Tasmanian Section Christmas party was held at the Penny Royal Wine Bar and Restaurant in Launceston on the evening of Friday 1 December 2023. There is a replica of the brigantine Tamar which ‘floats’ on rails alongside but, unfortunately, attendees were not allowed to perform a roll period test!
