Sunset in North Queensland, Australia

Here is a photo from a recent trip to the Town of 1770, in Queensland, Australia. The boat is my 42 year-old cruising dinghy, designed and built by my father. Construction is plywood batten-seam, 15' 2-1/2" x 5' 11". Originally rigged as a Bermudan Sloop, her current rig (one of many) is a free-standing balance lugsail of 115 sq.ft.

I've maintained and modified her over the years, but a lot of the most recent work has been carried out by my second son, David. Photo taken by the oldest of my sons, Geoffrey.
