Instagram post 2088470027337662201_1962742127 One of the Classic Yachts that has expressed an intention to enter The 2019 Cup Regatta is “Ruthean”, 54 ft Laurent Giles yawl seen here in the publicity brochure for the 1962 Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Owned now by traditional shipwrights Wendy and Ferdi Darley, she is a magnificent part of Australia’s yachting history #laurentgiles #yawl @ferdidarley @rycvroyals #cyaa #cupregatta #sydneyhobart #rolexsydneyhobartyachtrace

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 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
Instagram post 2073139371682558727_1962742127 Dates for this year’s Cup Regatta on Port Phillip are set! 5 races over 2nd 3rd 4th November from RYCV. It’s going to be biggest and best yet. Picture is of current champion Tumlaren on the bay “Sirocco” owned by Charlie Salter.

Instagram post 2072462280599132746_1962742127 The view in front of Melbourne City skyline this morning. Sea Shepherd Founder, Captain Paul Watson, stated: “On December 7, 2007, Teri Irwin and I launched the M/V Steve Irwin, a vessel that would be our flagship for the next decade. It has been my honour to have been captain of this vessel for so many successful high seas campaigns. The lives we have saved and the difference we have made with this vessel has been awesome. We worked the ship hard, through horrific storms and crushing ice and after eleven years, our engineers have determined that the Steve Irwin is no longer safe for sea. "It is simply not wise to risk the lives of our crew beyond the boundaries of practicality. Despite the many risks we have taken over the years we have learned when to hold a ship and when to retire a ship and regrettably the time to retire the Steve Irwin is now. Battle scarred and damaged, regrettably she must be retired, but the memories, the campaign victories and the lives saved will be the lasting legacy of a ship that was as valiant and courageous as her namesake." #seashepherd #williamstown #solstice #savethewhales #steveirwin @seashepherd #portphillipbay
Instagram post 2072263210450400364_1962742127 On the shortest day of the year, the locally designed 1947 8metre “Frances” waits for her next outing..... there’s a rumor that her Scottish sister a few pens away might be sailing again soon after 25 years of being pen bound? #woodenboat #classicyacht @rycvroyals
Instagram post 2071027163481680657_1962742127 Four wooden sterns in the RYCV yard today. (I can’t say transoms because one of them doesn’t have one). But only three designers. Which two are from the same board? Australian? Danish? American? @rycvroyals #yachtdesign #woodenboat #classicyacht #cyaa @sailingant @chris_clapp @rmalcolmd
Instagram post 2069982298174013880_1962742127 Six months out from the“Cup Regatta” the 2019 edition is shaping as the best yet with so far 30 boats expressing their intention sail.  One of those is the RMYS based BOAMBILLEE owned by George Fisscher & Michael Rhodes.  She is an ocean-racing yacht that was built in 1968 by Bill Barnett at his McMahons Point boat shed in Sydney NSW. Barnett was one of the leading wooden boatbuilders of the post war period and BOAMBILLEE was the first cold moulded wooden ocean racing yacht that he built. Its robust construction and longevity are a strong reflection on the workmanship Barnett put into his craft. It remains in original condition after 46 years of sailing and racing and represents an era when builders used lighter methods of construction in traditional materials that still retained a large margin of safety in terms of the hull’s strength.  BOAMBILLLEE was a development of RAINBOW II which had won the prestigious One Ton Cup earlier in 1968 for New Zealand. However, it was also designed to the RORC handicap rule, which was about to be replaced by the IOR rule for international ocean racing events. Soon after S&S produced a smaller design that became the production S&S 34 that subsequently won many races around the world and was later used widely for singlehanded sailing as well, including LIONHEART. Compared to BOAMBILLEE this design sailed almost as well and had a better handicap, but did not have the elegant overhangs and proportions of BOAMBILLEE. @rmysstkilda @rycvroyals @hobsonsbayyachtclub @sandringhamyachtclub #cyaa #woodenboat #woodenboatsarebetter #portphillipbay #cupregatta #sparkmanandstephens @sparkman_and_stephens

Instagram post 2042494794789425905_1962742127 New Topmasts about to go in on the Polly Woodside thanks to the amazing work of shipwright @ferdidarley Polly Woodside is a Belfast-built, three-masted, iron-hulled barque, now land locked in the Yarra River in Melbourne. She will never sail again which is sad. She was originally built in Belfast by William J. Woodside and was launched in 1885. Polly Woodside is typical of thousands of smaller iron barques built in the last days of sail, intended for deep water trade around the world and designed to be operated as economically as possible. #pollywoodside #yarrariver #tallship
