1st November 5pm Update – 3 Hours into the 2024 Melbourne to Devonport Race The fleet is settling into Bass Strait, enjoying flat seas and 15 knots from the south in what has been termed "peachy conditions." Leading the fleet are MRV and eXtasea, with the fleet staying just east of the rhumb line. In an interview at 4pm, Rod Smallman on Maverick predicted that those who pick the right time to tack may have the advantage, as they await a wind change later tonight. He went on to suggest that it could turn out to be a small boat race for handicap honors given the predicted conditions, though tactics will play a large part. The fleet is closely packed, with each tracker update giving everyone a chance at the handicap win. Keep an eye on the tracker https://race.bluewatertracks.com/2024-melbourne-to-devonport-rudder-cup and enjoy whilst we wait for the wind to change the interview with Rod Smallman here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKb4a8r4e7M

Croatia’s Adriatic coast is a sailor’s dream—crystal-clear waters, over a thousand islands, steady winds, and ancient towns that blend history, cuisine, and charm like nowhere else in the world. As a professional skipper who’s spent years at the helm of catamarans along this coast, I’ve had the privilege of exploring it all—from hidden coves to the bustling nightlife of Hvar. Let me take you behind the scenes of what it’s like to skipper a catamaran in one of Europe’s top sailing destinations. Why a Catamaran? Catamarans have become incredibly popular for charters in Croatia, and for good reason. They’re stable, spacious, and perfect for groups or families. With wide decks, roomy cabins, and shallow drafts, they allow us to anchor close to shore and offer a smooth ride, even when the wind picks up. As a skipper, I appreciate the visibility and maneuverability a catamaran offers. Whether docking in a tight marina like Skradin or anchoring off Pakleni Islands, the dual-engine setup gives me precise control, which is essential during high season when marinas are full and anchorages are busy. Typical Day on Board Mornings often start with a short sail after breakfast, taking advantage of calm seas and light breezes. Depending on the group’s mood, we might head for a quiet bay for swimming and paddleboarding or sail to a historic town like Korčula or Vis. By late afternoon, we usually drop anchor somewhere picturesque. I help guests get ashore via dinghy if they want to explore or grab a bite at a local konoba (traditional restaurant). Back on board, sunset dinners on the aft deck are common—local wine, grilled fish, laughter, and stories from the sea. Top Places I Love to Sail The Kornati Islands: A sailor’s paradise—wild, rocky, and untouched. Ideal for nature lovers. Hvar & Pakleni Islands: Great mix of luxury, history, and vibrant nightlife. Mljet National Park: Peaceful anchorage and stunning lakes surrounded by pine forests. Lastovo: Remote, authentic, and one of Croatia’s best-kept secrets. Being a Skipper: More Than Just Sailing A big part of my role is making sure everyone feels safe, relaxed, and taken care of. I plan routes based on weather, help with mooring, offer local tips, and make sure the catamaran is always in top shape. I also know the best secret swim spots and where to find the freshest oysters or sunset views. Whether you're an experienced sailor or stepping on a boat for the first time, having a skipper on board means less stress and more enjoyment. Ready to Set Sail? If you’re dreaming of a sailing holiday in Croatia, I’d love to welcome you aboard. Whether it’s a family vacation, a romantic escape, or a group adventure, sailing the Adriatic on a catamaran is an unforgettable experience. Let’s chart a course together.
