What a bonus, a 10 day Easter and ANZAC day holiday and some fantastic weather to be on the water cruising or racing. Good luck to the yachts sailing in the Brisbane to Gladstone, its looking like a flyer! http://www.brisbanetogladstone.com/
Make sure you check the safety and survey of your boat before cruising or racing away from civilisation and let somebody know where your going and when you arrive.
If your vessel is due to be hauled out of the water after Easter its a good opportunity to get an insurance survey and health check done on your boat before tucking her in for the winter. We are happy to conduct the insurance survey and give you some tips on how to keep your boat cosy over winter and ready to go for next season.
