Crew Wanted: Gold Coast to Sydney at Xmas

[Twoskippies]

Looking for one or two experienced crew to help sail a 35' Catamaran down the coast.
Expecting to leave GC on 26th December trip will take 3-4 days.
Experienced crew necessary as we have just purchased this boat and are relatively newbies.
You would be sailing with two gents in early 60's. Prefer non smokers, sober habits etc.
Reply here if interested or require further info.
Sorry it is short notice but we are off work for that week only.

Hey, I'm interested. I'm available during that time, 43, a non-smoker, RYA day skipper with plenty of harbour and short offshore racing experience. I've also done two, week long charters on monos where I was the only person on board with any experience.

I live in Balmain East and I'm from the Gold Coast, Palm Beach. I could probably even round up some crew with offshore racing cat experience (french guy who races with us).

Let me know if you're interested. With a short window I'd be keen to understand your plans re: weather, the boat setup etc. I'll PM my number. Should be fine but can get a bit full on.

Cheers,

TP

Hi Tony.
I am having trouble finding your PM with your number.
I now have a crew for this trip thank you, however if you would like to send your number again, you are certainly welcome to join us later when we start venturing around Sydney if you like.
We are both relatively new to sailing and having experience on board is always welcome.
Cheers
Peter.

No worries, PM sent.

"Expecting to leave GC on 26th December trip will take 3-4 days."
Please be kind to yourself and try not to set rigid date or time parameters which must be fulfilled.
The Gods of boating frown on schedules, so make sure you work a good deal of flexibility into your planning.
Regards,
Richard.

Thanks Richard, we are flexible to a degree, but have places to stop if it looks iffy.
Cheers
Pete & Sue.

heyo - just a quickie!

My partner and I will be cruising in Sydney Harbour between Christmas and New Year's day... sailing down from Pittwater on Christmas day with another boat or three... if you'd like to catch up for a drink whilst in town say hi!

Thanks Oz.
Not too sure when we will be back in Sydney, but hope to be there in time for NYE.
I will look you up if we are back in time.
Cheers.
