Announcement that the spectator ferry is back with tickets on sale, marking the return of Radar for the 2020-21 season.

SPECTATOR FERRY IS BACK
TICKETS ON SALE NOW
We are delighted to see the return of Radar for the 2020/21 season.
Built in 1946 and restored in 2020 for the Biennale of Sydney, her traditional red and yellow trim has given way to striking yet traditional tattoo markings celebrating and honouring women of the Pacific Islands.
A true historic icon, Radar historically served as the spectator ferry for the SFS 18-foot skiff races and, in her new livery, she is perfect for the modern-day job.
Secure your front row seat as we follow the sailing race and experience Sydney Harbour in a different way. Enjoy the on board commentary and refreshments. Radar is fully licensed.
Great opportunities for photography. A stunning way to spend an afternoon.
Hurry! Tickets are selling fast for the last two races of the Spring Sailing season.
