Everyone who was involved is invited, from skiers to helpers to committee members to pick up boat drivers to... tell anyone you think may be interested! If you participated in any way in 2008, 2009, 2010 or 2012 then YOU were invited and we all had a BLAST! Thanks for a great night.
On Friday 27th January 2012 the Eagle pulled 154 skiers from the deep and 145 made the full nautical mile distance - SMASHING the old record of 114 skiers behind one boat. When you visit Strahan, ask for the RED boat; make sure you ride on the RED boat so you can see all about our record and talk to the crew - and talk directly to the family that actually owns Eagle!

First run today saw nearly all the skiers make the start and 108 over the finish line, with rough water making it tough.
7.15am Jan 27th 2012 saw 154 skiers entering the water while dawn broke over the mountains behind Strahan. A huge effort from the organisers and volunteers had the ropes connected to the Eagle so fast that we were ready to ski an hour earlier then the day before. The Eagle had been anchored in the bay overnight, perfectly in position and with the boom in place, which allowed the speedy rope connection.
