Note the info re Jupiter!

Of interest to those that attended the get together at Stuarts the Fat Pigeons House Saturday night of the wooden boat festival, you guys met Doug Elliot who features with the Hydro Miss Hobart ane was a previous owner of my boat Tomboy.

I also know the owner of Quickly Two, all good to go just needs an engine block!

To be continued ! Cheers

Yes Chivs I remember Doug at Pigeons.
Also believe I have met the young lad who owns Quickly as well.
Seem to recall he showed a lot of promise in a little Hydro as a boy.

Matter of fact Stuart. If you remember, Doug told us a story about the young lad that now owns Quicky too.
He worked most of his life in the marine industry commencing as a cabin boy on the tall ship Windward bound in Hobart harbor. (which still sails)
It's amazing how close the boating community is in Tas.
