I am looking at sailing in a 50 ft boat from Sydney to Perth. How long does it take and what time of the year is best and worst
Now is as good a time as any, traveling around the top end you will predominantly have SE and Westerly breezes making 3/4 of the trip very comfortable and minimising motoring time. Realistically give yourself about 3 weeks on a 50ftr with time to enjoy the trip.
not enough info to get valuable answer but let say...hypothetical y speaking ...
it is half a distance through South.....Summer in Vic. is prevailing Easterlies , can get you there very quick
Northbound , by the time you get ready and leave, it would be too late, you in Cyclone Season.
Mate of mine in a Top Hat is going around, he's in Darwin now, moving west again at the end of this month.

That and how many crew and how many are female!
If it is a delivery and you just want to get it there, I had a quote last year for a boat to be moved from Brisbane to Perth.
The guy quoted 50 days and up to 200 hours of engine use

Try posting to a forum at this website: www.freodoctor.com.au You should get some of the more experienced owners input.
This is the main WA sailing website - There are quite a few boats that regualrly make the trip back & forth for S2H, as well as cruising / deliveries.
