Catamaran sailing Lake Macquarie (camping caravan park)

Please email directly and supply information below, as well as RSVP. Also use email for queries (not Meetup messages). Cost and more details are below. Enjoy pretty Lake Macquarie (2 hours from Sydney) while zipping along on our catamarans and getting a good introduction to sailing. More exciting than being on a yacht ! We have 18-foot, 16-foot and 14-foot catamarans. No experience is required. Come for either the weekend or a day (we recommend coming for the weekend). Email Mark Lovi (yhasailingbookings@gmail.com) as well as RSVPing. He will then send you details. In your email, please advise the following: * Do you have your own transport ? If so, are you prepared to give others lifts ? * If you don't have your own transport, what suburb do you live in ? * Contact phone number. * Do you have a tent ? We can hire but you must have your own sleeping bag. * Can you swim (we wear lifejackets but cannot take non-swimmers) * Are you reasonably agile ? We don’t need super athletes, but you are sitting on a flat deck (not a seat) and you need to be able to move 3 metres to the other side of the boat at reasonable speed. A simple test is whether you can lie flat on a carpet and stand up within 4 seconds without using furniture. * We cannot take people weighing more than 95 kg (even if agile). COST: Sailing fee $70 (weekend); $40 (day), camping $26, lift $15, tent hire $10. You need your own sleeping bag. This is a group event and requires people to be on time to assist in rigging boats. If coming Saturday, arrive by 10:00 am ready for the outdoors. If coming for the day only be prepared to stay until 6pm. For Sunday, be prepared to arrive by 9am and stay until 5pm. Camping is at a caravan park with facilities. We are a long-established sailing group run by the YHA. We hold sailing weekends every 4 weeks. NO SAILING EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY. Catamaran sailing is a fun and exciting way to experience the water, as the boats zip along in the wind. The boats are easy to sail and offer a good opportunity for anyone who wants to learn or experience sailing by getting some practice on either handling the jib, trapezing (hanging out the side of the boat on a harness) or skippering. We are not a "racing" group, we just like to be on the water and away from Sydney for a weekend, taking it easy.

Join us for a stunning coastal adventure where we’ll explore the North Head Circuit and the surrounding coastline. This route offers **spectacular ocean and harbour views, WWII history at North Fort, and local wildlife**. Depending on the weather and group pace, we will also navigate the “**secret wormhole” tunnel linking Manly to Freshwater,** followed by an optional extension towards Dee Why or a return to Manly for a late lunch. Due to the total distance (12–15 km) and a steady pace, good fitness is essential. **Before you RSVP, please read the details below:** * This event is hosted on **[TrekMeet](http://trekmeet.com/),** a free offline hiking app without ads, I built with and for this community, and would love your support if you could [please ](https://trekmeet.com/event/44f41258-f247-45b8-b111-30a30ff336b9?from=9xOdy7cJLyewPf1Nkak5XAkdmtI2)**[RSVP here,](https://trekmeet.com/event/44f41258-f247-45b8-b111-30a30ff336b9?from=9xOdy7cJLyewPf1Nkak5XAkdmtI2) i**t has offline trail route and event chat.

We will then head towards the "secret wormhole" tunnel. If the weather is pleasant, we will tackle the rocky path through the tunnel to Freshwater Beach, returning to Manly via the B2M path. On a hotter day, we will visit the wormhole and return to Manly via an easier path. We will finish at Manly, where you can catch the ferry back to the city or stick around for a swim and a well-earned late lunch! * **Gratuity:** A $5 gratuity is appreciated to cover organising costs.
