My wife & I sailed our last boat 32 ft Crowther cat from Brisbane to Sydney over 10 days arriving at the heads in time to watch the Syd - Hobart start. Got into trouble for having our main up Apparently a BIG no no because of the race.
We crossed a bar every afternoon late (around 1800 hrs usually) having left at 0600 hrs That time of the year that meant crossing each way was on a high tide. Worked well for us.
