UIRA Update No 15. For all those that were worried that we'd forgotten the darling of the shed, fear not! 😊 After lots and lots of sanding we reached a huge milestone this week with the first of many layers of paint to be applied to the interior of the hull. Matt did the honours of applying the first lick of paint. In what we hope will be a window into UIRA'S past, we have clear finished parts of her main and foward cabin to show her beautiful New Zealand Kauri diagonal construction complete with the scars obtained over 124 years of her existence. Enjoy!

A visit to the shed would not be complete without checking in on James and Simone's fantastic rebuild of the Huon Pine Motor Launch HALCYON. Soon relaunched under a new name, HALCYON is looking very complete with just the interior fit-out to be completed for her scheduled relaunching next year.

Continuing our catch up tour around the shed, one can not walk past the 1921 Ned Jack designed and built fishing boat REBECCA. REBECCA is one curvy craft and a credit to Ned's work as a boat builder and designer. Jeremy is leading a team of budding boatbuilders from the Cygnet community in breathing new life into REBECCA'S nearly 100 year old Huon Pine hull.

After a long absence from the shed it's good to be back amongst the hussel and bussel of CWB. Amongst the many spring projects is a new laid teak foredeck for the beautiful Charles Lucas built M.V NYORA. Also a new cabin and butterfly hatch for the fishing boat GEORGES BAY and a very curvy hard dodger for S.V WINDSANG.

The 36ft Motor Launch BEBIE, built by Battery Point Boatbuilder Chips Gronfors is offered as free to a good owner at the Peter Medling Boat Yard in Paynesville. Details can be found here! https://ift.tt/3jte41W In 1935 Chips Gronfors returned from Fiji to Hobart to work again with Charles Lucas at Battery Point. While in Hobart Chips received a commission from the Sydney business women Amber Merle Gray to build an ocean going racing yacht. Chips Chips returned to Newcastle and set up a boatbuilding yard on the Carrington foreshore. Between 1936 and 1940 Gronfors designed and built the yachts AMBERMERLE, HINEMOA and the Game Fishing Launch’s BROADBILL and AVIS. "The launch currently named BIBIE was launched as AVIS on the 4th April 1936 from the Gronfors Yard at Carrington N.S.W. Built by Ivar Chips Gronfors for Mr. J. Carney of Carrington. From all accounts Carney sold AVIS not long after her Launch to Tom Paddon of Newport. Paddon renamed her EXCEL and used her as a Game Fishing Boat off the New South Wales Coast. After WW2 she was purchased by the Belmont 16ft Skiff Club as served as the start boat for many years until being sold into Paynesville in 2015. Chips Gronfors was a master boatbuilder who designed and built boats in New South Wales and Tasmania from 1910 to 1940. Gronfors was responsible for building the Tasmanian Restricted yachts TASSIE and TASSIE TOO, he also built the Yacht HINEMOA, AMBERMERLE, and the Motor Launch’s MOANI and BROADBILL at his Carrington Yard."
