Rob and Anna plan to explore the Queensland coast and associated islands in a small Polynesian-style sailing catamaran, a Wharram Tiki 26. They plan to live simply enjoying the daily challenges of sailing and navigating and the amazing wildlife, scenery and people they meet along the way. As they are both educated in the field of marine biology stopping and volunteering at Marine Research Stations way is also part of the plan.

The Boat
The yacht Volante and her small but sturdy dinghy Joy are the boats of choice for this adventure. Volante is of a Wharram Tiki 26 design. She is designed by James Wharram who was inspired by traditional Polynesian-style catamarans. The Tiki 26 is small enough to be trailerable but large enough to be ocean-going. In fact a smaller version of this design, the Tiki 21, has even sailed around the world.
