4D Sailing ADVENTURER

4D Sailing

This is an introduction to sailing principles, passage making, and boat life in general without the field work yet plenty of ecological background to where you are and what you are seeing. It’s an adventure by sail within the Port Phillip bay. Stopping in at coastal towns and introducing navigation, safety and planning. A good appetiser to anyone keen to try cruising by sail. This participation funds the independent field work we conduct. So you can feel the warm glow of ‘doing good’ from your wallet. Much of the experience would work toward a competent crew certificate should you decide you want to advance your training.

Provisioning Options

We have three options for the provisioning of your trip. Vego or Vegan, Hunter / Gatherer, and Omnivore. Aboard the boat its one in all in, so its up to the group to choose which menu to start from. The chef is pretty ‘bang on’ or so he’s been told.

Vego / Vegan
We are pretty solid on the vegetarian option, frankly less so with the Vegan as it’s all a bit new to us. Can’t say we didnt warn you.

Sea Gleaning includes all kinds of local native foods with and without a pulse. Abundant sustainable fish varieties, foraged molluscs and edible native flora from both land and sea. Learn from the crew!

Omnivore is the classic meat and three veg - still spanning a few nationalities without too many surprises such as Japanese, South American and South East asian… oh, and scones.

Beverages We’ll provide a few local wines… beer and spritzes, perhaps a wee nightcap. It’s not about hard drinking… again, this is not a booze cruise.

Field Work VOYAGES and Expedition Support

We’ve done a fair bit of field work our selves and in collaboration with researchers and adventurers. Supported expeditions include visiting the Bass Strait Islands, and Wilsons Prom. These are usually much longer voyages requiring extensive planning for which either of the previous two experiences are a pre-requisite.

Climbing and Paddling around the Kent Group: Erith Island and Deal Island. Or as far as Flinders island.
