Hi fellow adventurers!After many years and over 50,000 ocean miles, I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited as I am about this adventure. This is more than just going on a cruise ship, this gives you the opportunity to share the luxuries of cruising with the grace and beauty of sailing.I’ve done several Sydney-Hobart yacht races, countless Sydney-Gold Coast races, International regattas like Hamilton Island race week plus ocean racing miles all over the East coast of Australia. But, to sail a Tall Ship in International waters will be the adventure of my lifetime. You can sit back and enjoy the luxuries of a magnificent, world class sailing vessel, or, you can join in and help sail the vessel.....I’m sure I’ll do a bit of both!!!If you’re looking for something a little different to the normal holiday, if you’ve got that little spark for adventure, then this is the holiday for YOU.Come and join me on the adventure of a lifetime as we sail the seas together. I look forward to seeing you on board. Ray McMahon Commodore, Southport Yacht Club
