For our May meeting the presenter will be Julie Porter and she will be telling us all about
“SV Rhona H: our philosophy and her place in Tasmanian Maritime history including the mystery of the bell!”
Now one of the regular sights on the River Derwent, but with a history that may interest members. SV Rhona H began her life as a gentleman’s recreational fishing boat, built as a ketch for cruising the NW Tasmanian and Bass Strait waters. She was converted in 1988 to her current configuration and Julie and Charles are delighted to share her story and her place in maritime history along with a few of the experiences they have had over the past few years.

Tolly and Josephine will be discussing the construction of their timber yacht "Gloria of Hobart". Many years in the making, this stunningly crafted timber ketch is the envy of everyone on the water. Come along and hear of the hard work and perserverence put into her construction.
