Smart Anchoring Part 3

Anchor

Over the last 2 months we've explained how you choose a good spot for anchoring and how to anchor.

This month we talk about weighing anchor and using stern anchors.

Follow our guide and you can confidently enjoy lunch or an overnight stay in Pittwater's quietest and most beautiful bays.

Here's anchoring tips part 3.

10 Minutes with Ben Tallowwood

Marine Tune Bayview Marina

This month we caught up with Ben Tallowwood of Marine Tune, Bayview Anchorage Marina

We asked him for a few Smart tips to help your boating trips run smoothly.

Ben chatted about your yacht's engine, batteries and water tanks.

Here's what he had to say.

Hi From Steve Conry

Steve Conry

Steve Conry is the dock manager here at SmartBoating.

Steve is responsible for making sure your yacht is maintained and ready to go when you step aboard for a charter or boat share trip.

We caught up with Steve this month to chat about his childhood spent on Sydney Harbour.

Here's Steve's story.

A Wander Around the Basin

Swimming at the Basin

As everyone who sails on Pittwater knows - we are incredibly lucky to have such a amazing cruising area so close to a large city.

There are so many fantastic bays to explore it's often hard to know where to start.

This month we take a look at Pittwater's fantastic camping ground at the Basin.

Here's what you'll find if you head here for the night.

Our New Hanses

Hanse 430 Keel Drop

This month it was great to see our 2 brand new Hanse Yachts arrive at the Marina.

In the photo you can see the keel being added to the new Hanse 430 joining our yacht syndicate fleet.

This is the second Hanse 430 to join our boat share fleet - by far the largest yacht share fleet in Australia.

We are also delighted to have our first Hanse 375 - a real gem of a boat and excellent value for money.

Some very happy new owners can't wait to get out sailing this month!

There are just 3 shares left in the 430 and 2 in the 375 - so if you want to sail your own brand new boat this month...

... be quick as it's the Sydney Boat Show this weekend and the last few places are bound to be snapped up!

There's more details here.

And speaking of the Boat Show...

... are you over 55?

Mercedes Offer

If so here's a very special offer for you...

We are delighted to be offering 20% shares in Hanse's brand new model the 325.

This boat share will be restricted to the over 55s and if you sign up at the boat show we'll throw in a complimentary long weekend in a Mercedes-Benz E-Class - cabriolet, sedan, coupe or estate
- the choice is yours!

Want to know more?

Come and see us at Darling Harbour anytime from Thursday to Monday and we'll give you all the details.

'Thank you Smart Boating for a wonderful yacht charter experience.

We had a fantastic time and everything worked so well from the airport transfer, your support, the yacht and of course the weather!

All in all a great week and we look forward to coming back some time in the future.

We were very satisfied and everything on the yacht worked so well - it is a credit to the owners and to your management service.
