Instagram post 2180178500613555333_1962742127 Now here’s a boat to fall in love with.... Derwent Hunter's blue water credentials are second to none, built as a fast fishing ketch by Walter Wilson, a second generation shipwright from the famous Wilson Brothers Shipwrights of Port Cygnet, south of Tasmania and was his last vessel. She was built of Blue Gum, Tasmanian Oak, Celery Top Pine and Huon Pine which grew within sight of the Wilsons slip yard, by the waters edge at Gardner Bay. These timbers are regarded as some of the best ship building timbers in the world, and were cut and dragged by bullock train to the slipway. She was the pride of the Hobart waterfront, re rigged for ocean going work by the CSIRO as a pole masted topsail schooner which served her better as a deep water working rig. Her design and construction have stood the test of time, in some of the harshest oceans on the planet, as many a tale has testified through her 12 years work as a Fishing Research Vessel, which was a small part of her ongoing career which stretched from subarctic waters to the tropics. Currently offered for sale by the Wooden Boat Shop in Sorrento www.woodenboatshop.com.au/for-sale/classic-wooden-boats/derwent-hunter @woodenboatshop #woodenboat #tasmanianhistory #derwenthunter #huonpine

Instagram post 2168902407139040184_1962742127 Crazy day on the water of Port Phillip Bay today for races 3 & 4 of the Cup Regatta. No wind ..... some wind..... no wind... some wind from the other direction..... then lots of wind to close it out! Congratulations to the @rycvroyals race committee for their persistence in getting two great races finished. So good to see all the old beauties going hard... @royalgeelongyachtclub @royalmelbourneyachtsquadron @sandringhamyachtclub @hobsonsbayyachtclub #woodenboat #classicyacht #cupregatta #cyaa photos @kyliebalharrie

After two races Marama is leading Div 3, Snow Goose heads the Tumlaren fleet, and Fair Winds tops division one.

Instagram post 2084470828006661430_1962742127 We’ve had a few old Melbourne boats on the posts recently so here’s 24ft Sydney boat from 1894. The Lady Loch is a forerunner of the 18 footers seen here on the harbour with at least five sails up. I don’t think they’re re 3Di #sydneyharbour #yachtracing #classicyacht #woodenboat #ladyloch #cyaa #1894 #sailhandling

Yesterday was Alwyn’s first time racing with the Classic’s for many a year and she came a creditable fifth. #classicyacht #woodenboat #alfblore #cyaa @hobsonsbayyachtclub @rycvroyals @royalmelbourneyachtsquadron #hobsonsbay #portphillip #classicyachtracing photo Eamon Pizzey
Instagram post 2079864373316455967_1962742127 Final post from the “Cigarette Box” collection. Having discovered this amazing resource, we now need to decide what to do with it! @royalmelbourneyachtsquadron @rycvroyals @hobsonsbayyachtclub @royalbrightonyachtclub @sandringhamyachtclub #woodenboat #classicyacht #portphillipbay #hobsonsbay #yachtracing #history #blackandwhitenegativefilm #cyaa
Instagram post 2078991488792045892_1962742127 I hope I’m not boring you with these images.... but here are five examples from box five of the “Cigarette Box” collection. I’m loving the discovery .... the moment I hit command “I” (turning neg into pos) in photoshop is a (poor) equivalent of standing over the dev tray in the darkroom. When I think about the first image and then the upcoming Americas Cup in NZ, it occurs to me that sail handling as a skill might be going the same way as celestial navigation! #woodenboat #classicyacht #maritimehistory #portphillipbay #sailing #gaffrig #blackandwhite @royalgeelongyachtclub @royalmelbourneyachtsquadron @rycvroyals @hobsonsbayyachtclub @sandringhamyachtclub @royalbrightonyachtclub @doylesailsvic

Instagram post 2074036636135694057_1962742127 Latest intention to race in this year’s Cup Regatta is from the 1929 Dalimore design, Windward II. If you have a wooden boat then join her on the start line on the 2nd 3rd and 4th of November for Port Phillip’s iconic Classic Yacht event. #dallimore #woodenboat #classicyacht #cyaa @rycvroyals @royalmelbourneyachtsquadron #windward #cupregatta
