Thanks for that Allan. Over time we may be able to discover more of Cecil Cartledge and his many boats. I was told by a first hand account by a friend of Cecil’s son that he built over 70 boats. John Philp worked on many of them according to his son.
I hope that you Tasmanians are thinking about the rest of Australia while you're out sailing your classic wooden yachts. driving on your uncongested roads and camping in your free camping sites in your beautiful surroundings. You're not are you. Well, I should be thankful that you document it so well, at least. Thanks for the content. I'll look forward to the next video.
@@SmallSailboatCruising I dream about moving to Tasmania. I've been for a few holidays, down there. A couple of those were highlighted by spending a fair bit of time on a friend's couta boat at Port Cygnet. Any tips on how to convince one's wife to trade in an overpriced house in Victoria for a modest home and small cruising yacht in Tasmania would be appreciated.
I lived on my H28 Compass Herreshoff , built by Compass in Newzealand ,for 8 Years. She had a 10hp Bukh engine which turned out to be a sacrificial anode. Lost her to cyclone Debbie in 2017.
I’ve been looking at these thinking I could end up on one too. Wood is nice but for a live aboard in the sun tropics glass has its benefits. Like the anode comment.
I just read a biography of Matthew Flinders, talked about the Lady Nelson and the circumnavigation of Tasmania with Bass quite a lot, interesting to see it in person (kinda!)
Met Neil a few times when I had my boat on the slip at Dunalley, and passing through the canal. A true gentleman of the boating community. Since moving to Launceston, we no longer have a boat, so enjoying your videos immensely Chris! Keep up the great work! Cheers, Dan
Thank you so much for yet another great video. Every time I see a square rigger my heart swells not to say that the osprey isn't lovely. And the parting shots of Sarah Anne doing what she does best was wonderful. By the way I really like your innovative camping setup.simple but looks very efficient. Just one more thing your fire starting skills match mine. I have my 5th wheel rv under a pole barn sitting on a friend's land in north Florida we have a big fire pit and every time I lite the fire I text my sister lots of wood gasoline matches and alcohol what could possibly go wrong. Looking forward to your next post. Cheers mate
National and global food chain networks have their benefits but it used to be exciting for us to travel up to the tropics enjoy mangoes and avocados and pineapples and bananas to die for now it’s just expected where you live. Thanks for encouraging Chris.
I think Osprey was first owned by Bill Edmonson and sailed from pdyc on the Tamar River.
You may be right. The information I have comes from the book Tamar river boats and I’ve no way of verifying it. Cheers Chris
Sorry lead you up the wrong path there. Bills boat was Hirondelle built in 73 by Cec Cartledge. Betty Percy,s book is a wonderful reference.

We do indeed enjoy the slower pace having spent 13 years in Queensland where it was getting very busy on the roads and on the waterways

@@SmallSailboatCruising Yeah, all the white metal bearings in the engine corroded 1st, hahahaha
Very enjoyable viewing, thanks very much for making this available. Great footage of the tall ships, the Lady Nelson is a fine looking vessel.
It was quite nostalgic for us given the history of my late aunt and her involvement with the building of the replica

She is pretty impressive under full sail close up. Sails like a brick though! Cheers Chris.

Hello Dan. So true. He brought me a plate of sizzling bacon and eggs when tied up at Kettering. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Chris
Thanks for the lovely visit.
Thank you too for watching. I appreciate it when people get involved in the conversation cheers Chris
Tasmania is a beautiful place to discover .Thank you for a very nice episode
It really is!
We enjoy the smaller population. Less busy waterways than the Queensland coast where we lived for 13 years
First time I've seen one of your vids, very enjoyable thank you. Nice and relaxed.
What a great episode!
Thank you I always appreciate your encouragement

Thanks Dave. It was so cold and damp up there I wasn’t 100% sure the alcohol would ignite! Cheers Chris
I sailed on Osprey many times with it's old owner Dave. She's a good boat🏴☠
I was disappointed we didn’t have the right conditions for a decent sail. But nevertheless she did well under Genoa. Cheers Chris
And we didn't eat avocado -- a great reference to now and when we were young 👏
