I know that Quinco a yacht from fremantle left from coffs harbour yesterday for new caledonia

Did it 3 years ago from Brisbane bloody awsome in 33ft yacht
Easy to check in, nice marina walking distance to city, very welcoming, first 3 nites free, free beer/cocktail on arrival free wifi

Yes Noumea
The other highlight is not having internet and phone for 8 days

Went there from Sydney via Lord Howe in July a decade ago. A great way to go if you like 70kts plus wind and 10m plus swell. Next time I will definitely sneak up the coast high enough to escape the SW gales.

One we got in the trades it was a great trip and I loved New Caledonia. The place has one of the largest coral reef lagoons so you can cruise for weeks in sheltered water. Port Moselle was a nice place to stock up on stores and sample the great cafes. Good idea to practice your old high school french before you go though. And yes I agree with Chris take stormsails and a good drogue or two.

If you can keep us updated would love to know what people thought about the mighty top hat.
Btw Steve I think I found someone else to annoy with questions about the Top hat 25. He's an old sailor with PTSD who just sails outside of Darwin ( where I am doing tug work for the next two months) he reckons he will take me out sailing on Sunday.
Good luck steve
