Have owned The ROSE for the last two years and still have no real idea of her design/builder. She was constructed in Melbourne Victoria in 1979. Her details and thumb nails follow.

Length 24 ft (30ft LOA) Chine Hull, marine ply on frames.
Beam 8ft
Rigged as a Gaff Sloop
Powered by Farryman 20hp diesel

Thank in anticpation

Well, it ain't no Mouseboat :D
Sorry, can't help, but if you ever need a crew, give a yell. I'll even make some other completely irrelevant guesses as to what she is.

Cheers

(I'm serious about crewing by the way, and I'm in Adelaide)

If it's a 'SHE' then it's the first boat I've seen that's had a sex change operation :D :D :D

G'day Ken,

There's a yahoo group called Wooden Boats Australia. Here's the homepage
Wooden Boats Australia (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WoodenBoatsAustralia/)

One of the members is creating a data base of wooden boats over 18'. He may be able to help - he'd certainly be interested in your boat. The group itself is a good one to join and you certainly would not be out of place there with yours, as I'm not with my dinks.

Ah ha, I've just found a link to his register
Wooden Boat Register (http://www.boatregister.net)

Cheers

The first picture rang bells of recognition and I was thinking of a design I know as the "Eric Junior". The stern is all wrong so I guess that is wrong.
Sorry, I can't help.
I bet Gumby's stern is not that pretty!!

Dont know what sort of boat it is looks like a mate of mines but his was built in adelaide similar style but was built in the 1930s. One thing I would be getting done was get pushpit and pullpit rails made up so you can fit safety lines down each side :) Nice looking boat though
