NHTYA Away Cruise Reports
The following cruise reports focus on our away cruises.The majority of the following cruises are weekend cruises. We live in an area jam packed with destinations many of which are ONLY accessible if you have a trailer sailer.
A trailer sailer opens up the best sailing areas of the country. Taking advantage of driving to destinations ranging from the Whitsundays to the Gippsland Lakes, means these prime sailing experiences are possible for a family with only 4 weeks leave a year.
Cruising with a group of like-minded friends, many of which have extensive cruising experience, is invaluable to extend your own sailing adventures.
Hawkesbury River Cruise
Feb 2016
NHTYA is blessed by its geographic location so close to lakes and river systems. For many years now NHTYA have been cruising the Hawkesbury River. A river with spectacular scenery which changes with every twist of a river.. Absolutely wonderful.
Sydney Harbour Cruise
April 2016
Every trailer sailor has to tick this off of their bucket list. We pre-booked a berth on Cockatoo Island ensuring a spot on what can be a crowded waterway. Of course we sailed past all the landmarks.. there's something special about sailing past the Sydney Opera House or under the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Hunter River Cruise
2015
NHTYA has an extensive river system right in our own backyard. A tale of three rivers- leaving the mast behind and enjoying all a trailer sailer has to offer....
Whitsundays Cruise
August 2014
The Whitsundays- nothing more to say really, only everyone has to go at some stage. What better way to enjoy this Australian iconic sailing destination than with a group of like minded friends. Many club members have sailed the Whitsundays many times and are more than happy/eager to share their knowledge.
Gippsland Lakes Cruise
March 2016
NHTYA members come from varied cruising backgrounds with some interstate members settling in the area. Owning a trailer sailer opens up cruising waterways all over Australia. The Gippsland Lakes are made for trailer sailing with some towns catering with a sailing focus.
Lake Glenbawn Cruise
November 2016
Just 2 hours away is a dam where you can sail 20 kms in one direction to secluded spots, enjoying sunsets and ever changing valley vistas.... NHTYA are planning a cruise in November 2016, why not join us.
Murray River Cruise
To be advised 2018
Australia's most famous river- another must to tick off your bucket list. An extended river cruise, like the paddlesteamers of years gone by, we will venture down river. Experiencing the locks and river life. Unique stop overs and breathtaking views... Club members did this cruise many years ago and 2018 is time to do it again. Around September 2018; so keep your calendar free.
