Thread: 1928 Sydney Harbor Ferry

so Deefa what do you think???

Congratulations on a nice looking restoration. Cant make the trip down myself but would have loved the run out .

Shes looking pretty good... well done to all involved

I think it best that I leave my comments to that... she looks great cosmetically and hopefully its all good below decks and the jobs been done well... although that comment regarding sistering with plastic chopping board worries the bloody blue blazes out of me... but hey what do I know eh? maybe it works... personally I hope you didnt go that route but stuck with the more appropriate and known methods.

Bunbury to Sydney to have a look at Myrna? yeah okay I can see that happening

Anyway as I say shes looking good from the photos you show... and you seem happy with the work as has been done and chuffed with your efforts and well mates... Well done

Dingo,
Don't doudt your knowledge and advice, but as a man with a few miles under the belt, I've learnt that you hold a carrot in front of a donkey and he'll follow you all day, but try and push him from behind and he'll kick you in the guts. By the way that boat looks great.

Lewy, thats a new version to me of an old adage.

G'day Myrna Worker,
Sorrry I haven't answered earlier, been busy sailing Felix. I reckon she looks a treat and congrats to all concerned for a job well done. It was a huge job to take on for a bunch of skiff sailors so great effort. I hadn't seen the earlier posts in this thread until I just read them, very interesting...... you guys sure upset the old dingo, anyway seems he has has given you the now so all must be ok.
Thanks for returning to the forum with the recent pics, hope you all have many pleasant voyages on the Harbour soaking up the enjoyment along with whatever else you are consuming. Just keep the driver off it.

I reckon Myrna looks great.

I am glad to hear that the ribs were professionally done - if you apply that rule of thumb (if it is structural get the professionals to get it right), you won't go far wrong!

Watch out for little Puddleducks - it might be me and my son (when it gets built) out for a sail. You don't want to end his career as the new Jim Hardy before it got started, do you!

Howdy Myrnaworker,

Thanks hugely for following this up and posting the pics. She looks very much on the gorgeous side. Nice to have her buzzing around the harbour again.

Could run highly expensive weekend trips for small groups with gourmet picnic baskets!!

Glad to hear you went orthodox with the ribs! Beauty ain't skin deep!

Congratulations to all the team!

Michael

Hi

Not sure if you're still on the site. I know your boat. Live just around the corner on the othe side of Castlecrag point looking to Middel Cove. Looking for suppliers to help with repair and care of my trawler in Middle Harbour. Any recommendations?
