TASMANIA – AROUND THE COAST – Publication Written by Peter Turrell produced Rob Ungar
Mr Rob Ungar was recently awarded 2019 Victorian Sailing Awards, “Motor Yachtsperson of the Year. A devoted power boatie Rob and his good friends set of to cruise further afield from Beaumaris Yacht Squadron and Sandringham Yacht Club and head on a distant adventure.
Gathering a group of 10 like-minded boat owners and crews, 43 in total, from several Yacht Clubs & Marinas around the Port Philip Bay, some who had not experienced Blue Water Cruising, Bass Strait or even the beauty of Tasmania let alone a circum-navigation of some 1200 nautical miles of this magnificent coastline.
This spectacular 176-page full colour hardback coffee table book tells stories and adventures of this unforgettable journey. It covers, specifications of the boats, weather predictions, the log, charts, preparation, departure and a day by day account of the harbours, rivers, towns and waterways visited. The book has some magnificent photos of Tasmania, including the amazing coastline, ocean and boats.
This book is a must for anyone contemplating a trip like this or would like to see how it was done.
We were guided by two professional Skippers including a Tasmanian Mike Percy and another experienced Skipper David Prior who has previously cruised the Tasmanian waterways.
