#rottoswim #rottoswim2019 @rottoswim
ALL SOLOS, DUOS AND TEAMS MUST HAVE ONE! Finding a Support Boat and Skipper • Word of mouth • Rottnest Channel Swim Forum • Social media - Rottnest Channel Swim Facebook / Instagram sites (@rottoswim) • Advertise in the local newspaper, Quokka or Gumtree • Commercial Boat Hire. A quick web search is the best way to find boat hire businesses in Perth. Support Boat Requirements • Must be able to fit the number of people the skipper will be responsible for. • Vessels >10m – must stay south or north edge of the fleet (and use a tender to stay in close proximity to the swimmer)
