Ketch sails on Australia Day

Wutuku, a 65 foot ketch and flagship of the Tall Ship Sailing School, will be running cruises from both Gosford and Woy Woy on Australia Day.

As the Wutuku will also be taking part in the First Fleet landing re-enactment at Gosford on January 26, those booking cruises are encouraged to wear period costume.

The morning cruise departs Woy Woy for Gosford at 8.30am, with an afternoon sailing from Gosford to Woy Woy at 3pm.

Tickets are $50 each, with an Aussie breakfast or afternoon tea provided.

Four short cruises on the Wutuku are also available on Australia Day for $10 per person.

These will depart Gosford at noon and 1.30pm and Woy Woy at 4pm and 5.30pm. Local folk musicians will provide entertainment on the afternoon cruises from Woy Woy.

Tickets can be booked in advance through the Tall Ship Sailing School on 4324 9625 or on Australia Day at the school's information booth which will be situated near Iguana Joe's on the waterfront.
