Joining the CYCT is straightforward, but does involve some formalities. If you know someone in the Club, they can introduce you. Otherwise the simplest way to start is to attend one of the Club meetings and make yourself known to one of the Committee members. You may also want to join one of the regular Club cruises.

April Meeting Presentation
"Elsie goes to Fiordland"


  

Geoff Lea gave a presentation on his sailing adventure aboard his yacht Elsie, a Hans Christian 33. He took out the CYCT 2023 Cruise of the Year for his effort, sailing around the South Island of New Zealand from Hobart.

After a false start leaving from Hobart in some heavy weather and an equipment failure, he successfully made sail on the 9 March across the Tasman Sea arriving in Bluff, NZ on the 17th March. From here he set out to Stewart Is and on to explore the Fiordland's of SW New Zealand. Then he made the trip up the east coast, Dunedin, Akaroa and Lyttelton (Christchurch) on his way through the Cook Strait stopping at Picton and then via Malbrough Sounds to Nelson.
Then the return Tasman Sea crossing, incorporating Balls Pyramid, Lord Howe Island and on to Coffs Harbour.

Electronic Visual Distress Signals (EVDS)

It is now an option to replace the 4 x handheld flares (2 x Red & 2 x Orange) required in sheltered and offshore Tasmanian waters.
If boat owners elect to carry these devices, they must also have a GPS-enabled EPIRB registered with AMSA and a VHF radio.

Marina Use


Note the maximum berthing period is five hours per stay. In certain circumstances, this time limit may be extended with prior approval from MAST. Vessels requiring berthing exceeding five hours will need to scan the QR code located on the marina piles. This will prompt you to provide vessel and contact details and a maximum stay time will be issued.

AED’s on boats Register
(Automated External Defibrillator) 

When a person suffers a cardiac arrest an AED can save a life so the  availability of AED's and knowing their location is critical. A land-based register can be found online at the Tasmanian ListMap. On the water TMR (Tas Maritime Radio) have enabled boats to register AED’s onboard.

So if you have an AED onboard, add it to your TMR registration details and in an emergency, contact TMR who can assist identifying the nearest AED located on the water.

For club cruises if you are the Cruise Coordinator carrying the club’s AED, go online to your vessel’s TMR registration and record AED details with your vessel. After the cruise, remove the details.
