Who Says |
|
There are no fish in the Lake? Since the cessation of commercial fishing, Lake Macquarie is a much easier place to catch a feed of fresh fish. |

Properly Setup |
|
Launching & retrieving becomes Ezy/R. Austral Clubman 8 being launched single-handed by Ross. Four wheel drives & Power winches take the effort out of handling maxi-TY's. |

It's Easy |
|
When properly set up and suitably experienced - you just have to know how. An Austral Clubman 8 glides off the trailer under Ross' careful eye. Launching & retrieving even maxi TY's is quite practical. |

This just appeals |
|
We just like the look of the Clubman waiting purposefully in the shallows at Sailaway. |

Trailer Yachts |

Offer so much versatility. This is an Austral Clubman 8 floating in mere inches of water. This Jutson design is a pleasure to sail (and a terror on the racetrack) without sacrificing a beautifully appointed interior. |

Keep Her Flat ! |
|
Costin 7 is an expert's machine, with the for'ard hands on trapeze. The waterline is even narrower than the Young, demanding a very agile crew. |

Competitor's View |
|
Beautifully balanced Costin 7 pointing high and moving very quickly upwind for such light airs. Keep the boat as flat as possible to minimise drag and maximise speed. |

The Racer's Reward |

Spinnaker trimmed to perfection, the Costin 7 left the competition in her wake. |

Deceptively Fast |
|
Young Rocket 780 knifes along on a grey day. The flatter they are sailed, the faster they will go. Normally raced with a crew of 5, the Rocket is an expert's boat. |

|
|
Hang On ! |
|
Young Rocket 780 fully powered up. These boats have very narrow waterlines for effortless speed, require a bulb for stability, and are very sensitive to crew weight and position. |

That Winning Grin |
|
The Young Rocket 780 is a Formula One of Trailer Yachting and is suited to experts only, especially when sailed short-handed. |
