Peter, who built my Core Sound, launched his new boat at the Wooden Boat Association sailing day on Albert Park Lake today.
Not much wind, but a good opportunity for him to try out the new boat and rig.
There were some lovely boats there today, including Roger's 120 year old lifeboat.
The lapstrake panels are made that way to allow for wear as the dinghy was hoisted up and down the sides of the mothership. After a couple of hours sailing we ghosted back to tie up in front of the club.
Some serious, boaty conversations ensued. After lunch we sailed round the island again, after which the wind died. Time to break out the oars.
I dropped Gerard back in Werribbee, and got home round 4. I am pretty tired now, but it was a good day.
