Wooden boat enthusiasts



Mark and I are now the proud owners of an old timber boat (Huon pine). We joined my sister and her husband and another couple in the venture and have already enjoyed a few great days aboard. Although we have yet to leave the mooring as it has been undergoing a lot of repairs.




Its 32 feet and was built in 1939, so we are looking forward to lots of weekends on Sydney harbour hopefullt cruising around and not just carrying out maintenance.




Note the flag, its an ensign which denotes a private sailing vessel and is original to the boat, as you can imagine I was very impressed its all stitched together and looks like a vintage quilt It has a great outdoor area that seats about 8
The galley is quaint but practical.
