Ben Tucker has now spent seven summers over nine years, starting in 2015, working in Antarctica. He has taken charter boats to the Antarctic Peninsula and worked for the Australian Antarctic Division on inflatables and barges, transferring cargo from the Aurora Australis to shore, including handling up to one million litres of fuel.

Ben’s sense of Antarctic adventure began in 2006 when he sailed his yacht from Hobart to Mason Hut. Before that, in 2000, he completed a single-handed trans-Tasman voyage on his 26-foot folk boat.

How to get the most out of your CYCT membership with everything at your fingertips via Club Express.

This evening we will have a presentation from Tricia and Julie and this will be followed by a short AGM to elect club officers for the next year.
Tricia and Julie will share insights from the annual Women Who Sail Australia Gathering on the Bay at Port Stephens which they attended recently.

The event is primarily for women, but the weekend includes opportunities for Blokes on Boats (Bobs) and everyone
returns home with fresh ideas and inspiration.

This year Chrissie was a guest speaker presenting the Tasmanian South East Coast as a cruising destination to the gathered attendees.
Also sharing their expertise and experience were world renowned sailors Wendy Tuck & Lisa Blair.

You’ll hear some insights and highlights from the gathering.

This will be followed by the AGM to elect the officers for the club for the coming year and some other official business which wont take long. You are encouraged to attend.

Al and Dinah are once again offering their Margate home and garden for the annual December get-together.

Head along for a relaxed time with fellow members, perhaps enjoying a home made cider or perry crafted in Al‘s back shed. Bring some food to share too.

Now that summer has arrived think about joining a cruise to sheltered waters with protection easily found from all wind directions. Perhaps a night or more at Lagoon Beach inside Sloping Island, delightful Sommers Bay, explore the Coal Mines and consider heading through Denison Canal and head south a few miles for a stay in Lagoon Bay (great fishing here!)

A week to relax and enjoy being on your boat agai,n likey with some good sailing too and not too far to go either.

Finish up by extending your trip and heading to Taranna for the Tasman Peninsula Regatta over the Australia Day long weekend.

The Regatta is on the Combined Clubs Calendar and is for racers and cruisers. So people can attend as competitors in the two races held each year, as entrants in our novelty event which involves a Le Mans start from the Clubhouse, a circumnavigation of Dart Island, deck hoses, flour bombs etc, or they can simply make it a social event. A nude swim gains extra points in the Dart Island event and the winner is not usually the first boat home.

The program currently is:
Saturday Self starting and self timed race from Castray Esplanade to White Rock. Cruise to Taranna.
Sunday 1100 hrs Taranna: Dave Hanson memorial sea trial circumnavigation of Dart Island (non racing novelty event)
Sunday 1300 hrs Taranna: Race to Smooth Island and return.
Sunday 1600 hrs Taranna: Presentations to competitors.

Think about joining the Norfolk Bay cruise, starting 17 January, prior to this cruise.

Use the Hobart Regatta long weekend to escape the crowds in Hobart and head around to the Huon River for a few days. Perhaps Randalls Bay for Friday night, then Franklin for a meal with fellow cruisers Saturday night and with the rising tide Sunday morning, consider heading up to Huonville for the scenic cruise up the river. Perhaps Sandrock Bay or Copper Alley Bay for Sunday night and home on Monday. Altogether an interestin set of destinations and not too far to go.

The annual cruise to Maria Island and the Freycinet Peninsula. Two weeks of clear waters, playful dolphins, great anchorages and some decent weather to boot.

An extended long weekend cruise around to Cygnet to view the regatta.

The spectacle of colours, shapes and sizes will abound!

Check on this later to see the updates to what/how/when and why.

The annual chance to do our bit towards cleaning up our environment. In conjunction with the National campaign, join stalwart coordinator Catrina Boon for an afternoon pottering along a foreshore (to be advised) removing ‘stuff‘ that shouldn‘t be there.

Stay overnight and socialise a bit and consider heading south tomorrow with the cruise to Recherche and surrounds.

After joining in the Clean Up Australia event on Saturday, take a week away heading out on Sunday, to the south and spending time at the bottom of Tasmania. The weather will dictate where we go and hopefully there will be time for walks, perhaps to South Cape Bay, or The Whale being a bit closer. Great Taylors Bay has many anchorages and the chance to walk around the Labillardiere Peninsula. Or to stay onbaord relaxing ! Southport and Deep Hole isn‘t too far away, with more sandy beaches and protected anchorages.

Take a four day break and head to Port Esperence to experience the annual Regatta run by PESC. Join a race (if so inspired!) from Kettering or Cygnet to Dover on Friday, there will be racing and social activites on Saturday and Sunday and then return home on Monday.

A very big welcome is waiting you from the Port Esperence Sailing Club. Many onwater activities to watch whilst at anchor, from large and small yachts along with older timber boats.

Catch up with Steve onboard CIRRUS at an arranged anchorage on the Tasman Peninsula and try for a circumnavigation over the next few days. Weather permitting we can take our time and spend some hours appreciating the fantastic scenery as we sail along the eastern coastline.
