Solar boat challenge at Regatta Centre

SCHOOL students are primed to take part in Australia's State and National Solar Boat Challenge finals at the Regatta Centre 9am-2pm tomorrow.

The event is the culmination of months of racing challenges around the nation. Victoria and Queensland had state finals.
