Here are some pics of the Ruby Too out on Botany Bay, Sydney, Australia.
The boat and engine {p55 stuart} got us out and back with a minimum of fuss, might do it it again tomorrow.

Hi Ron
She looks beautiful, what is her story, I have a boat simular style of 20ft made at, I am told the Brisbane maritime school back in the 1930's. It was used for oyster farming in Moreton Bay.

Bruce, she is only two years old, the hull was made in Toorbull QLD and she was fitted out in Sydney.
As an ongoing project she will eventually end up with a gaff rigged mainsail as well.
We are hoping the weather clears up so wee can get out to this spot again as we were the only boat there.
Regards Matt and Ron. |

She's a beauty! And judging by the shape of the planking fwd she is a powerfully built craft. Was this possibly patterned after a Navy vessel? I'd love to see lines etc. Got any more photos? Sail plan? Search words to find a Google reference?
Thanks,
Dave |
