Tasman Information
The Tasman Challenge is a junior event held annually in alternating countries between the ski race associations of Victoria and New Zealand. Each skier has a dedicated boat for race one on Saturday and swap boats with their competitor for their second race on Sunday. Each skier accumulates points from each race calculated on their times. The team calculated with the most points takes home the prestigious Trans Tasman Cup. Each race sees only 6 boats on the water at a time. These boats are handpicked from our leading outboards from our point score series in Victoria. This ensures we have our most professional crews out on the water. All boats used for racing are outboards from our F2 and SMOC classes. This is so we can ensure all boats are evenly matched which helps for close and fair racing.
This year’s Tasman Challenge will be held in New Zealand on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th April 2022 TBC. The Tasman Team will be selected from the highest point scorer over the first 3 point scores. The point score series point system will be used for the selection process. If there are 2 skiers on drawn points after the first 3 point scores then the Tasman Challenge Committee will use the 1,000 point system to select the team member on the highest points. This is the time-based system used for the Tasman Challenge.
Skiers must meet the following criteria to be eligible to compete:
