Constitution Dock is a historic alongside-berthing basin in Hobart's Sullivans Cove, entered through a lifting bridge. TasPorts currently advertises it for casual stays, with an online enquiry form and Southern Operations contact. Bridge openings can be booked daily at 09:00, 11:00 and 14:00. This is quay-wall berthing in a working port, not a floating-pontoon marina; availability, charges and any event restrictions should be confirmed with TasPorts.
Use the TasPorts online enquiry form for casual berthing or contact Southern Operations on 0418 334 856 / operationsadmin@tasports.com.au. Book bridge passage for one of the published daily 09:00, 11:00 or 14:00 openings. Confirm berth allocation, fees, power, water and shoreside amenities directly; older first-come/no-booking claims and historic prices are not current operator guidance.
Constitution Dock is inside Hobart's working port. Coordinate both berth and bridge access with TasPorts before entering; special-event berthing may change normal arrangements.

Apollo Bay is a small working harbour on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road where sheltered inshore sailing meets the Southern Ocean. The character is a mix of protected harbour berths and an exposed open coast: pleasant day-sails and sheltered weekend cruising inside the bay, with demanding coastal passages immediately offshore where south‑westerly swell and strong winds from the Southern Ocean dominate. It suits coastal cruisers, trailer sailors who launch at the ramp, and experienced coastal sailors who understand bar and swell behaviour; it is not a casual open‑ocean anchorage for unprepared or
In gusty, changeable Tasmanian winds, approach docks or a alongside berth slowly on a controlled angle, keep propulsion and steerage ready to counter gusts, use crew to control fenders and lines, and choose a lee side or sheltered spot where possible. Prioritise maintaining steerage and being able to power off quickly rather than trying to hold a precise position with engines idle.
