Hi Don great photo, they both look good from were i'm sitting, When you see a yacht like the one in the foreground up on the hard they are pretty stylish below the water line as well. A similar looking boat was being brought back to life as you head around the bay towards the Cygnet yacht club last year, may be she.

cheers

Something makes me wonder if she is Pandora, one of the original One Designs..... Google google google.

Aha! See

Very nice Don, love the old Tassie boats! Spent a fair bit of time sailing on a beautiful old Derwent class yacht down there. Built in 1929 and always held her own in the races. Was a lovely looking boat and a lot of fun to sail.

Think I saw her on Gumtree recently so might have moved down there with the new owner.

Thanks for that info All.

Is that the old Peterson 2 tonner Sunburst lurking in the background of the above pic, Don, or is it one of the local one tonners?

Looks like the old Bacardi to me?

Nah. It has got to be Sunburst. I was bursting to buy Sunburst a few years ago for $25,000 which is what she was listed for.

If you have ever sailed a Peterson IOR 2 tonner, your mind has been altered forever.
