Until this ambitious project was unveiled at 1 May launch by patron, Ian Keirnan, it was known as the 03 Project.

The circumnavigation of Australia will follow the route taken by Matthew Flinders in the late seventeenth century. With Trim the Cat on board – the crew is looking forward to success in breaking the 44 day non-stop journey.

As announced at the 1 May launch, due to weather and tidal considerations, departure dates and times are yet to be locked in, but the crew is ready to depart early May when conditions are right.

As a result, we would like you to register your school’s interest in following the crew’s adventure. Once the date is marked, official timekeepers in position, we will email you with the departure details.

By logging onto the website www.sailorswithdisabilities.com you will have a window into the challenges for a disabled crew on sea for 44 days non-stop around Australia.

The crew plans to arrive back in Sydney Harbour around mid June
