If the name of the yacht is Free Spirit, it could be a 34 footer built out of King Billy pine and launched in 1969 by Peter Brown of Lindisfarne in Tassie. Original name Manapouri. Sailed to Sydney, sold and renamed Free Spirit in 1973. In 2019 she was owned by a Glen E Reynolds of Werrington in NSW. Yacht of that name is still on the Australian Ship register, ON 355358, with home port of Sydney.

Looks like the same boat with that broken shear line.
