History: Built over a five year period beginning in 1947 by Bob Stevens in his backyard ZEFIR (Swedish for Zephyr) was built as Knud Reimers designed with hot zinc galvanised frames and floors, with well seasoned Jarrah garboards and Queensland Kauri topsides. Three years later after Bob returned from Europe and the USA he found the hull structure in perfect condition to continue ribbing with hot steamed bent intermediate laminated Karri timbers, Spruce deck-beams and cabin and cockpit structures. She was raced successfully in Port Adelaide by Bob until the early sixties and one other Adelaide owner then sold to Howard Fox in Melbourne in 1975 when her name was changed to ZEPHYR. As a “cruising” Tumlaren, much heavier than the majority of Tumlaren built in Melbourne and raced from Royal St Kilda Yacht Club (now Royal Victorian Yacht Squadron) Zephyr didn’t feature on the winners list in the very active racing regime of the Tumlaren Association. She was purchased by Kevin Read in 1993 after coming ashore at St Kilda and had two major restorations that replaced the galvanised ribs and floors and completely refurbished the hull and cabin and finished with a laid teak deck.

FOR SALE - 1969 TED HOOD LITTLE HARBOR 50 “CONCERTO”
(click for larger view)
Designed and built by Ted Hood as his own boat, but regularly mistaken by passersby for a classic S&S.
Fibreglass hull and deck moulded under Lloyd’s supervision by Tyler Yachts UK. Shipped to Holland for solid teak fit out by the famous Frans Maas’ Yard. (Including beautiful and practical tiled open fireplace). Shipped to the United States, launched and rigged by Hoods as “Robin” in time for Ted to compete in the 1969 SORC. “Concerto” has a fascinating history, she has completed many famous East Coast USA races, including 2 Newport-Bermuda Races. Sailed across the Pacific in the early 80’s, “Concerto” has since cruised Australia extensively, and is ready to head off again at a moment’s notice. Originally rigged as a ketch or “racing yawl” under the CCA Rule of the time, her mizzen has been removed and stored and as a result she has a lovely long and roomy cockpit. For the past 7 years she has been a much loved family boat and weekender on Pittwater and her standing and running rigging were replaced in 2008 before a 1500nm Queensland cruise last Christmas school holidays. Numerous photographs, articles and full details are available at www.bluewaterprod.com.au/concerto or by contacting her owner John Lamble on 0408 970 087. $235,000
FOR SALE – Aoma -A Yacht with True Pedigree, Looking for a Saviour
(click for larger view)
(click for larger view)
Aoma is reported to have been designed by William Fyfe and built in 1899 by the famous Logan Brothers in Auckland. She was built in triple-planked kauri with the typical gaff rig and bowsprit of the era. Her hull is in great condition, has been dynel sheathed 20 years ago and is still water-tight. The mast has recently fractured at the top and middle spreaders and was removed. While many fittings and the roller-reefing boom were kept, the mast is not repairable.The BMW motor recently flooded during a Melbourne northerly when the anti-siphoning was not up to the task of a heavy slop in the harbour and it islikely to be heavily corroded internally.
She is looking for a new lease of life, maybe from a syndicate or small group who could put the time and funds into her. The owner is very realistic in regards to the value of the boat and keen to see her restored to her former glory
