Smart Anchoring Part 2

Anchor

Last month we explained how you choose a good spot for anchoring.

This month... we give you the low down on how to go about it.

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 2.

Hanse Yachts Downunder

Anchor

What drives a young Australian to spend 18 months travelling round Europe, USA, Canada and Africa in a campervan visiting 22 boat building factories?

For Peter Hrones of Windcraft Australia the driving force is clearly passion.

Once Peter starts talking about boats his face breaks in to a smile and his eyes shine. Here's a man who clearly loves his work.

Peter's story is a fascinating one ...


Hi From Sarah Stevenson

Sarah Stevenson

Sarah Stevenson is the name behind the friendly voice you hear on the end of the phone at SmartBoating.

She's responsible for the smooth running of the office and is a great personality around our marina.

We caught up with Sarah this month to find out what brought her to Bayview.

Here's Sarah's story told as only Sarah can!

Smart Boating Syndicates - An Owner's View

Frank Milner

Frank Milner is a straight talking Aussie who calls a spade a spade. He's also a seasoned Smartboating syndicate owner.

Having enjoyed a term on a Hanse 400e he's now enjoying his second boat share this time on board Ruffian a Hanse 430e.

We caught up with Frank to chat to him about yacht syndication from an owner's point of view.



Portugese Beach

Frank Milner

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

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

We took our kids to Portugese Beach this month and had enjoyed a fabulous day out.

And finally a reminder...

The Sydney Boat Show this year is 29th July to 2nd August.

We'll be there and we'd love to see you!

'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.
