The Catalpa was the American whaler in which six Fenian convicts escaped from Western Australia 18 April 1876, the day of the Perth Regatta, which provided a distraction, and which is recalled in the song about the affair, 'The Catalpa'
TCYC and FSC combine each year to celebrate the Catalpa with the return race back to FSC after a hard earned lunch for the sail down. Join us this year as we do it all again.
