Bryan Walpole, with "Merlyn", an 11m couta boat, has some crewing vacancies for the trip anticlockwise around Tassie, mostly from the Tamar round the west coast to Hobart.  A wonderful opportunity to see the western coastline, Hunter group of islands, and some magic anchorages, including the Gordon River, and Port Davey.  You will need to have basic seamanship and some navigation skills, preferably experienced too. Contact Bryan on 03 6224 8815 or bwalpole@iinet.net.au or go to www.ryct.org.au/cruising  to see the details.
