The annual CYCT event to get your collective brains ticking over in a very nautical manner. Our esteemed ex-Commodore and previous winners onboard Gradiva will this year be presenting participants with a variety of questions to test your weather interpretation, passage planning, navigation, seamanship, observation and communication skills. (The latter is to ensure harmony onboard your vessel !)
Location = The Channel / North Bruny Island
There will be a short (1 hour or so) pre-cruise assignment to be completed and submitted on the Evening of Thursday 22nd May prior to the cruise.
Registrations will therefore close on Tuesday the 20th May.
A Minimum of 6 (six) vessels is needed for this to proceed

In January 2024 Rusalka sailed from Hobart to Bluff at the very bottom of New Zealand. There, the weather prevented any further progress to New Zealand‘s Subantarctic Islands. So Rusalka sailed to Picton where it waited until November 2024 to make a second attempt. This time it successfully sailed to the Auckland Islands at 50 degrees south. Two weeks were spent exploring coves and bays, seeing the unique flora and fauna, experiencing the raw weather and immersing in the beauty of the place.

Again, after the very enjoyable June long weekend cruise last year, we will be heading off this year to Norfolk Bay. Take a day or two extra if you wish and make it a great break away. Cruise contacts are Philip and Julie-anne Garlick onboard DULCINEA on 0408 488 256.

With the shortest day approaching and with Dark Mofo in full swing it is a super time to head into Constitution Dock for two nights and enjoy all the festivities available right on your door step. Well, maybe on your fender step?

Preparing your vessel to head offshore, crossing the Tasman to NZ, sailing to Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu & New Caledonia.

Vanuatu is a draw card for many cruisers wanting to complete an ocean passage with the excitement of experiencing a different culture. Vanuatu is made up of 86 islands and even though we sailed there several times there are many islands we did not visit. The national language is Bislama, a form of pigeon English but the islands were dual governed by England and France before independence. Some villages remain speaking only French but English is becoming more popular. This presentation covers islands we visited from the South to North in the chain.

How to get the most out of your CYCT membership with everything at your fingertips via Club Express.
Rob Greenwell will unlock and explain Club Express the club’s website. Your first port of call for club information and interaction.

Tricia and Julie will share insights from the annual Women Who Sail Australia Gathering on the Bay at Port Stephens.

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.
Also sharing their expertise and experience were world renowned sailors Wendy Tuck & Lisa Blair.

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

Join Club members with their boats for an evening in Con Dock, making it an easy walk to the Anniversary Dinner.

Experienced Con Dock vessel marshaller Andrew Boon will again be sorting out berthing arrangements with Tas Ports and advising requirements in advance to those registered.

Remember to wake up Sunday in time to join the shared breakfast before heading back home late morning.

Bridge opening times could change, a fee will apply, and expect more details closer to the date

The Merino Room at the Old Woolstore is the venue for CYCT‘s 50th Anniversary Dinner. Easy access with parking nearby for those arriving by car, expect a great night out with a decent feed, a few interesting anecdotes recalling good times past, a vidoe showing so many events and cruises and members in interesting places!

If you take your boat into Constitution Dock for the night, it is only a short stroll to the Old Woolstore. There could be sundowners onboard member boats before the dinner, and a breakfast is being arranged on Sunday morning before we head out to sea.

Keep an eye out for more information about how we will be celebrating the 50 years of the CYCT.

Registrations will open once all details are confirmed, with lower costs for those who register and pay early.

Celebrate the success of the 50th Anniversary Dinner last night with fellow members, enjoying a sumptuous breakfast.

The Courtyard Cafe at TMAG wil be opening earlier than usual, and amongst their usual array of fine foods, will be offering up delicious egg and bacon rolls along with their great coffee and tea

This is open to all members, regardless of where your boat is, even if you arrive by car !

More details to come - we need to allow time to get back onto our boats, exit Con Dock and head back to our home berths. Please check back later.
