Tasmanian Cruising Guide

Anyone have any recommendations on a cruising guide for Tasmania.

Check out this thread from May last year
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Sailing/General/Cruising-Tasmania-and-why-come-down-to-the-AWBF?page=1#lastpost

"Anyone looking to sail around Tassie should look to get a copy of the Tasmanian Anchorage Guide - ryct.org.au/tasmanian-anchorage-guide/"

and from Lydia: "If you see a copy of John Brettingham Moore's "Cruising Tasmania" written in late 1970 and early 1980s grab it.

"The RYCT Guide is written for the RYCT cruise and is very conservative in it's advice.
That is intentional on the part of the authors (who are good friends and super experienced)

"The Brettingham Moore book has many of the fishing boat hide holes which while sometime more exposed are still good compared to being at sea."

"Looks like John Brettingham-Moore's Cruising Tasmania is available spiral bound at Australian Boat Books www.boatbooks-aust.com.au/product/cruising-tasmania-2/"

Lydia again: "also the CYCT guides have excellent detail as well."

You can find them at www.cyct.org.au/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=801661&module_id=278850

Also from wongaga: "the CYAV "Cruising Victoria" book, which includes the Tassie north coast and all the Bass Strait islands".

This can can be found at www.cyav.com.au/cruising-victoria or at Boat Books

Also mentioned is The Shank. It's a coffee table book in terms of may large colour pictures, but some experienced Tassie hands think those without West Coast experience should not rely on it (or its successor) as guidance. The original The Shank is hard to come by, though there are stilll some links about eg: www.fullersbookshop.com.au/shop/books/the-shank/. There's a second version - The Shank Returns - available at, for example, geographica.net.au/product/the-shank-returns/

Jack n Jude was my go to. Found it very helpful.

Definitely try Tom get a copy of Storm and Silence.
Great wisdom contained therein.
