G'day All, Am thinking of a cruise around the whitsundays some time soon. Has anyone stumbled across a good travel guide book, or website with un biased...
Hi Stuart, "100 Magic Miles" is the guide you want - about $65-70 fro boating store of large book stores... The Jarcat catamaran guys are planning a quick...
... Stuart, There is a book called "100 Magic Miles of the Great Barrier Reef - The Whitsunday Islands". By David Colfelt. Published by Winward Publications....
I'm also thinking of trailering Tridents up to the Whitsunday's around Christmas - early Janaury. Does any-one think this is a bad time to go, due to cyclones?...

We have been told by a seasoned sailor that spends 6 months sailing in the Whitsundays each, great retirement I reckon, that May to November is the best and...
Cyclones don't spring up in 15 minutes. Most of the Whitsunday Islands and reefs are within reasonable running away distance. If you watch the weather, check...
Hello people, I have an autohelm 1000 and have been told that it is possible to upgrade it to a 2000 or maybe a 3000. I am led to believe that the 1000 has all...
Finally got the boat out on its' 2nd trip, having done heaps of work to boat and trailer. Still at the bottom of a steep learning curve I picked a weekend of...
Great to hear you had an "OK" trip? they can only get better :) One thing that has made sleeping on our boat a lot more enjoyable is making some large blankets...
Sounds good John, I am in the process of widening my starboard wing berth and coverting the port side to a storage shelf. Im with you there is just not quite...
G'day John, Sounds like you had a lot of fun, if you decide to change the interior a bit post some photo's. I too have difficulty with getting good sleep due...
I prefer to sleep in the main cabin. Both port and starboard seat backs fold up to add another 300mm to the wingberths. Heaps for me. There are 2 panels per...
Sounds like a few of us are "vertically challenged" :) I'm 6'4" in the old measure so it is good I sleep curled up. I can stretch out as my feet can extend...
Hi group Many thanks for the feedback. It seems there are several solutions to the accomodation issue. I think the 720 has the length to have an arrangement at...
Hi everyone I have turned this feature on as we have had two spam incidences this week (both authors have been banned) and since the spammers have found our...
Hi group In the gap between the float beam ends there is a really handy storage area. In the rear one I keep the flares (actually I now have a dedicated...
Hi John Try Flying didn't originally have these cross flow drains (I thought I had invented something new). what I did was put some airline hose through then...
... I put a piece of wood across inside these, which makes a triangular section tube to carry the water, so the storage stays dry. You should be able to...
I think the idea was good, but the size of the holes on my 720 allowed them to fill with gunk, and after a few repaints I think that was common on boats. At...
I am in the process of repairing my boat because some one plugged the holes before I owned the boat. while replacing the pads I was looking at the plans &...
Mine doesn't have the drains, but have been looking into some sort of drainage for the recess. And this makes great sense. Cheers will have to make it so. ...
In my rear beem I have the front side filled with a speaker (to give stereo to the one in the cabin) and the rear side filled with an inspection hatch. I...
Hi all, I am looking at removing floats for some overdue maintenance. I had a good look today at getting them off but decided to post here first for some hints...
I agree the drains get clogged and retain water which can cause maintenance problems. I am currently doing some restoration work on front beam recess and am...
I removed mine last fall to work on the beam pads in the main hull. The rear upper arms come out by just removing the bolts pivot bolts at the hull end unless...
I thought about leaving a big gap on the inner pads but do not know if the hardwood full pad was needed for strength or not. one could double up the aluminum...
Hello AD, When we did the refit on Blue Moon I was fortunate in not having to take them apart, but I did put them back together. The main hull was left on the ...

No I haven't used this type of pad, but can't see any reason why it wouldn't work. We have stainless pads with a hard rubber glued to the top. The rubber is...
