What a classic beauty - it has a real folkboat look to with the timber...

What about the 'harbour bridge' mast step on the old girl? I wonder if it was the forerunner for the mast steps that were used in Aust.

Built in '75 it is not an original. Also it is a carvel not cold moulded hull.
It does however have the innerforestay and single lower shroud setup as Illingworth and Primrose originally drew it (though this is a single spreader version).
The original Top Hat, Black Billy had the harbour bridge back in '63.
