It is almost entirely Huon Pine and was built as a comfortable boat for his family. It is a typical english 4 tonne 1960’s design as a Twister class which had a very successful racing record. There are not many of this class in Australia and she has been recognised as a Twister by travelling Englishmen. The Holman and Pye design evolved as a larger version of the Danish folk boat design. We would love to continue her tradition of attending every wooden boat festival.

The fitout arrived as a truckload of rough sawn Silky Oak from which all mouldings and fitout timbers were created. Alcheringa has done significant blue water voyaging around Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and New south Wales.Used extensively for fishing and cruising she can sleep 8 and is commonly crewed with five or six. Her first voyage was a circumnavigation of Tasmania. The two boats show what can be achieved by a small cooperative team using skills gained over a lifetime of mucking around in boats and building them. Background of the builders are teaching, machinery sales and maintenance and farming.

Altura Name: Altura Boat Owner: Ian Gough Builder: Viv Innes Designer: Viv Innes Description: A much admired and loved vessel with a wonderful document history. Sailed in the 100 years Royal Hobart Regatta and many events before and since. Represented the Cygnet Sailing Club in A Class events against the RYCT representatives. In 1969 the original owner builder/designer Viv Innes sold the Altura to the Weidenhoffer Family who raced the Altura in A class events for many years. The current owner (Ian Gough) purchased Altura in 1984 and raced in Vintage Boat Club events until 2001. During a race from Bellerive to Kettering in the late 1990’s Altrura gained line honours in winds recorded at over 70 knots. That event was written in Classic Boat magazine published in England. In previous Festivals Altura attracted great public Interest.

My father, Brian Franklin, purchased the boat in 1986. The vessel then became involved in the abalone industry as well as continuing to catch rock lobster. The vessel participated in the 1988 Tall Ships Race and is currently rock lobster fishing. Boat is a traditional Tasmanian fishing boat, based on a Norwegian trawler design. The boat is built from Celery Top Pine with a King Billy Pine deck underlay and Huon Pine covering boards.

Page 6 Classic Yacht Association of Australia 2019 Australian Wooden Boat Festival Hobart Aotea Name: Aotea Boat Owner: Annie Venables Builder: Clement Blunt Designer: William Fife 3rd Description: Location: CDM Aotea was built at Williamstown, Victoria in 1900 by the Nelson Place boat builder, Clement Blunt, to a design by the famous Scottish naval architect William Fife Jr. Aotea was built as a lug rigged yawl for use on Port Phillip Bay. In her first race at the Geelong Regatta on New Years Day 1901 she was dismasted and was later re-rigged as a sloop. Aotea was not entirely successful under that rig either and before the 1901 yachting season was over, she was re-rigged as a cutter with a pole mast and a jack yard. This improved her performance and she was the fourth most successful competitor in Royal Yacht Club of Victoria events for seasons ending in 1902, 1903 and 1905 and third in 1904. Owner A C Barber was later a well known Sydney-based naval architect. In 1907, Hobart clerk A. V. Windsor purchased Aotea. Under his ownership Aotea won the cruisers race at the Hobart regatta three years in a row: 1908, 1909 and 1910, sailed by Frederick Turner on all 3 occasions. She led the fleet round Cape Bruny in the 1908 100 Mile Ocean Race (now called Bruny Island race) but broke her gaff. In 1951, with her days as a first class racer behind her, Aotea’s then owner Stan Davidson of the Bellerive Yacht Club had her topsides built up at Cuthbertson’s Yards at Montagu Bay to make her more comfortable for inshore cruising. Unlike many such conversions it was tastefully done and although it completely altered her character she re-emerged as an elegant craft, her rakish lines set off by oval port holes along her raised hurricane deck. Steve Harvey converted her to a cutter rig with a roller- reefing headsail in 1973/74, making her suitable for single-handed sailing. Aotea, now owned by Port Cygnet Yacht Club member Annie Venables, continues to be loved, raced and sailed in the Huon Estuary and Channel some 118 years after she was built. She won the Noel Doepel Classic Yacht Trophy at Dover in 2017 for the first time, fitting as she used to belong to Noel, and then went back and won again in 2018 up against Varg and Exodus. She is looking particularly fine at the moment after many hours of scraping and painting and general maintenance in the last 18 months since Annie took her over. Annie Venables was taught to sail and given her love of classic boats by her late father, Tony Venables. She was probably even conceived on a classic boat whilst her parents honeymooned in the UK on the windfall yacht “Overlord”. She is one of a very small group (4!) of lady boat owners who own 100 year old wooden boats. LOD feet: 35 Hull Timber: Kauri Type of Boat: Classic yacht State: Tasmania Built: 1900 Location CDM Classic Yacht Association of Australia Page 7 2019 Australian Wooden Boat Festival Hobart Apollo Name: Apollo Boat Owner: Alsion & Bruce Fyfe Builder: Pompei Designer: Pompei Description: Location: KF2-7 We found Apollo on the hardstand at Queenscliff, she had been on a mooring and had partially sunk. The old Detroit engine was swamped and no longer working but had managed to leak oil right throughout her bilge and cabin. She was trucked to Kettering where her restoration began by two very enthusiastic owners. Our incentive was to see her entered in the Wooden Boat Festival 2015 sporting a new makeover. She was repowered with a 160hp Yanmar, completely rewired from 24v to 12v. The old chain steering that had rusted and no longer worked was replaced with a modern hydraulic steering. As her instruments had been badly weathered these were also replaced and where possible items of her era were used. She had to come out of the 60’s a bit, but as much as possible was retained. Lots of painting later and many late nights she was starting to look amazing. (We are biased). Built by Pompei Brothers of Mordialloc Creek for Jack Clarke, owner of G V Clarke Motors in Preston Vic. She was launched in 1969 hence her name Apollo.

  • CAT CRAZY, TRI FI and Other Multihull Comparisons by Jim Brown

    CAT CRAZY, TRI FI and Other Multihull Comparisons by Jim Brown

    CAT CRAZY, TRI FI And Other Multihull Comparisons By Jim Brown “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, quite so much worth doing as simply messing about in…” Multihulls! That paraphrased quote is pilfered for the most part from Ratty, the revered rodent in Kenneth Grahame’s venerated tale “The Wind in the Willows.” Of course, Grahame and Ratty said it of ordinary boats, and neither would have, even could have, said it of multihulls. But if Brown had been the author instead of Grahame, his character Ratty might have said something like, “There is nothing, absolutely nothing quite so creative as screwing around with multihulls.” By “screwing around,” Ratty would have spoken literally, meaning to conceive, gestate, whelp, wean and release upon the Earth’s fluid interface one’s very own flesh and blood multihulls. And that’, impatient reader, is what this appendix is about, so like most appendices reading it is strictly optional. In that you are reading on, please be prepared for some sacrilege. Suggesting there is something divine about boat design and construction I will try to trace multihull origins by expanding on the theorem expressed by my late friend Walt Glaser who said (in Chapter 1 of my memoir, “Among the Multihulls,”), “A man builds a boat to make up for the fact that he can’t build a baby… What else can a guy produce with his own body that so closely simulates a living thing?” It took me many years of both messing about in and screwing around with boats to apprehend this aspect of watercraft, and I admit that it still takes quite a stretch for me to accept the notion.

    A Biological Monitoring Survey of Reef Biota Within Bathurst Channel, Southwest Tasmania 2010 Neville Barrett, Elizabeth Oh, Lisa Meyer, Dane Jones and Graham Edgar

    A BIOLOGICAL MONITORING SURVEY OF REEF BIOTA WITHIN BATHURST CHANNEL, SOUTHWEST TASMANIA 2010 NEVILLE BARRETT, ELIZABETH OH, LISA MEYER, DANE JONES AND GRAHAM EDGAR Executive Summary The benthic reef communities of Bathurst Channel represent an important feature for the ongoing management of Tasmania‟s marine ecology and diversity. Containing a number of fragile deep-water invertebrate species growing at accessibly shallow depths, the reef habitats are both susceptible to impacts and of scientific importance. The foundation for this study was the continuing need for a practical, quantitative monitoring program which will provide information on species composition, species distribution throughout the channel, and detect any changes occurring over time. The survey, conducted in March 2010, collected digital image data from depth intervals ranging from the intertidal zone to 20 metres depth at 13 monitoring sites extending throughout Bathurst channel, and compared it to baseline imagery taken in 2002. The high resolution imagery collected in 2010 was used to create a descriptive catalogue of the biota observed, which can be used for future monitoring and species referencing. Species and substrate percentage cover in the photos was analysed using an easily repeatable point count method (CPCe) where data files can be stored and reanalysed. The information collected described the changes in species composition along Bathurst Channel, and thus provided some insight into the relevant environmental and biological factors limiting the distribution of algal and invertebrate species throughout the estuary. Results were consistent with previous descriptions of the community types within the Channel, showing that this system is inherently stable over these time frames.
