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.

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

Day one of the Cup Regatta is done in heavy rain, but a great breeze. After two races Marama is leading Div 3, Snow Goose heads the Tumlaren fleet, and Fair Winds tops division one.

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

Peter Costolloe’s 1923 “Alwyn” with an interesting sail set up. A Hobart “A” Classer designed by Alf Blore. 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

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

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
