Someone may have already posted this so apologies in advance. The link below will take you to a guy and partner sailing a Top Hat from Sydney to Port Douglas and making a video on the way.

If the link does not work just do a search for "The Bearded Sailor".

Thanks for posting Rohan.
The bearded sailor left Camden Haven today, i was trying to leave at the same time and sail toPort Mac', but didn't think I'd have time today. ...but somehow managed to get to Blue Moon and get her ready in record time.
We sailed in company to port mac.
The bearded one and crew were heading for Coffs. But pulled into Port Mac' with me, as the wind died off.
We are each ona courtesy mooring at Port Mac'.
Lovely winters arvo sailing.
Cheers
Would post a photo but can't reduce file size enough at the moment.

I have just finished watching them all and of course Blue Moon makes an appearance in the last video (or second last).

I am looking forward to the next video.

Unfortunately the Bearded Sailor is no more....they swapped the TH for a larger yacht (around 37ft from memory). I sailed Triada down to Sydney for the new owner, fantastic Top Hat, well set-up in all areas...sails, lines, downstairs etc etc, & fitted out with quality gear, a real credit to the Bearded Sailor & crew.
Braiden has changed the name of the utube channel to That Sailing Guy, even the beard is gone, I didn't recognise him at first without it!
cheers
