Sailing Melbourne to Hobart February 2007

Interest forums / Life on the Ocean

I’m an easygoing, safety-conscious, experienced skipper cruising a comfortable Duncanson 12m cruising yacht from Melbourne to Hobart via the East Coast of Tasmania. The passage plan is to leave Melbourne 27 January 2007 and to return four weeks later. I’m looking for one or two crew for the whole passage or for the main legs (each of about one week). You must have sailing or considerable outdoor experience; be prepared to share the work (steer, handle sails, cook, clean and share the necessary work around the boat); and share food and fuel expenses. Call me (Ron) on 0428 391 470 to find out more, or email mail@smartss.com.au.
