​Sailing the east coast of Australia is on every sailor's bucket list.
  • You can do any number of these carefully selected legs on board our performance 43 foot catamaran or Beneteau Oceanis 46. 
  • Within each leg you will be travelling during daylight hours but overnighting in a protected anchorage or marina.
  • Some ports you will enter in the early evening for night practice.
  • When we say performance we mean speed. Our cat has lifting dagger-boards & rudders, a wide range of sails and she is light, fast & comfortable.
  • She has the latest in navigation aids plus the best in safety gear including AIS and radar.
  • She has separate cabins for privacy and a beautiful big galley for producing meals from fresh, nutritious ingredients..
