Crew for PNG-Cairns?

Remains of rudder
This message goes out to everyone keen on joining us for a sail from PNG-Cairns next month.

Harlequin should have arrived in Cairns last month, but unfortunately suffered a rudder failure just after leaving the Louisiades for the crossing. She limped back to Alotau, PNG where we’ve been lucky enough to find a secure berth while we source a new rudder from Jefa Rudder Systems in Denmark.

Temporary jury-rig
Repairs will be complete by end of June, we hope. We then hope to depart Alotau in July for a few days in the Louisiades and then the 3-day crossing to Cairns. So we're now looking for crew for the crossing. Anyone available in July?

If so, please get back to me ASAP with any Q’s at harlequin@dbyc.net.

And please pass the word to anyone who you think may be keen. Skippers - any of your crew available interested? If so, please pass them on.

Thanks!
