The Cruising Yacht Association of Victoria (CYAV) has recently published 'Cruising Victoria' - a guide to cruising Victorian waters and beyond. To quote from the recent review in Cruising Helmsman: 'This book is one of those critical missing links. . . It has been a long time coming, but is a real gem. . . Whether you are a local or someone circumnavigating this is one of the guides you should have on your bookshelf'.
What is equally impressive about this book is that it was written in six months on a single PC by the President of CYAV, Andrew Garrett, aided by over 20 reviewers. The time from inception to publication was a remarkable 14 months, so the content is contemporary.
The book can be purchased ($79.95) from Book Boats or by direct sales from CYAV (member $45; non-member $65). The first print run has sold out, but more will soon be on the way. Andrew has offered to bring some books to QCYC if members would like to buy a copy - please email secretary@qcyc.org.au if you're interested.
The Cruising Yacht Association is a not for profit organsation founded over 40 years ago with the goal of promoting cruising in Victoria and beyond. It meets monthly at Bell's Hotel, South Melbourne and a number of members are also QCYC members. Membership is $40 pa and will give you the monthly CYAV publication 'Ebb Tidings' as well as the option of the book at lower cost. A membership application is available here.
