  The 2026 Tiger Hunt is set. Which will be 2 nights at St Helens, 2 nights in Hobart, 2 nights in Tullah then a final single night in Smithton before heading back to Devonport for the overnight sail home on Saturday night 21st March.

  Please be aware that Tullah twin share is now a triple share. (That is 3 people to a room) All twin share has been taken. If you want you can find your own accomodation in Strahan if you wish. This will not affect our itinerary as we will be passing through or near Strahan each day.

  You will need to get yourself to our breakfast briefing at Devonport's Argosy Motor Inn by  0800 am on Saturday 14th March with a full tank, fresh tyres (seriously) and faith in the leadership!

  The format is a little different for this one with opportunity to switch between two groups on most days. The groups will run in parallel and have a sport touring cohort and a 'tailored' dirt (to suit average experience on the day) with tourist cohort. Hunters can also hive off and do their own thing at any time, as always.

  The event is capped at 28 riders. This includes pillions and tagalongs who count toward the cap as accomodation is unfortunately limited.  

  Registration deposit will be $340per person for a twin share. This will be applied to a range of things including accomodation on our final night in Smithton at the 'Tall Timbers' resort including a 2 course dinner that night and a fully cooked breakfast the next day before we depart for the final day's ride to Devonport. Your deposit also covers you for a 3 course buffet dinner on our first night in St Helens at the 'Panorama hotel' a quality event T shirt and of course our breakfast briefing in Devonport at the Argosy. Any refunds will reduce in line with commitments made by the Club. No refunds will be made after 14th February 2026.

  Trip Notes will be issued soon after registration. They outline the itinerary with everything you need to book ahead including accomodation. Hunters are encouraged to make their Spirit bookings, however, promptly after signing on. Expect plenty of company if you choose the day or evening sail on Friday 13th March and return on the evening sail on Saturday 21st March.

  A contact list will be distributed within the group to assist interaction and sharing initiatives. The default is that you are on the list...please advise promptly if you want your email or mobile withheld as the list will go out in the first communication.

  A Waitlist will operate should demand exceed places - don't be discouraged if the event fills early.
