As promised, here is our vintage yacht in all her glory.
Essentially, she is in fairly original condition, apart from general maintenance each year.

Welcome aboard our little beauty, complete with original brass fittings...
...Gorgeous warm original Tasmanian oak hideaway cupboards...
Masses of books and DVD's to while away the hours and masses of cushions to nestle in to.
You may remember here, I posted about making cushions and covering the seats on board. The cushions were made from from tea towels and vintage fabrics, the seats with new upholstery fabric.
We always see lots of these out of the water...
...and in the water...
...and this weekend copious amounts of youngsters learning to sail were out and about.
...and this weekend did not disappoint.
I hope you enjoyed a tour of our little vintage yacht!

Now THAT is a yacht! I think you should sail yourself over here and take me back with you.
Those pillows were the icing on the cake!!!
This is what my hubby & I plan to get in a year or two!
Love classic sailboats - even more than powerboats. Their beauty is so consistent with the beauty and nature of the sea.
You are so blessed! Thank you for sharing!
Enjoy -

What a wonderful vintage piece of treasure you have Pam :)We just come back from the weekend in Tangalooma and saw lots of boats out this weekend :)We may have crossed yours maybe? lol x
Perfect Pam, no wonder your hubby is on it so much. (was going to type her but that sounded...well you know ha) He is generous to allow so much "Pam" on board by the way of all those fab cushions. Kristen hates cushions and would like to banish all of mine ha... We need to get organised to visit Linda or else the days will zoom away, what do you reckon ? xx Katherine
Unbelievably beautiful..xx
