2008 Winter Sailing Programme

Namadgi leaves for her winter sailing programme in May. The full programme is:

Mid to late May: Passage from Sydney to Noumea, New Caledonia.
Late May to mid Jul: Cruising in New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands.
Late Jul: Passage from Noumea to Port Vila, Vanuatu.
Aug to mid Sep: Cruising in Vanuatu.
Mid to late Sep: Passage from Luganville, Vanuatu, to Mackay, Queensland.
Late Sep to late Oct: Cruising in the Whitsunday Islands.
Early to late Nov: Return passage from the Whitsundays to Sydney.

Namadgi has arrived in New Caledonia and is currently cruising around the lagoon, the Isle of Pines and Loyalty Islands. The passage to Noumea was marked by light winds for the first half of the voyage, but big swells and winds up to gale force later on. Congratulations to Peter Wain and crew on a successful passage.

Right: Brad Horwood demonstrates the use of the Titley tracking device to the crew in a quiet moment during the Sydney - Noumea passage. The Titley is a safety device used on Namadgi to find crew in the event of a man-overboard situation.
