Vessel : Aeolus

Launch Date : 1938??

The mystery of the 30sqm yacht Aeolus is still unsolved but her story is being uncovered and the results so far have only caused even more interest in finding this yacht.

Aeolus is first recorded in the racing results of the Royal Prince Alfred racing alongside the wonderful 30sqm Bacchante back in 1938. 

The next discovery was an amazing find. Photos of Aeolus racing with Bacchante in the 1938 season. Bacchante with sail number 19 would more than likely be the first yacht on the register but Aeolus was more than likely launched in the same year and with the sail number 27.

Aeolus looks brand new with very nice lines when this photo was taken back on the 29th of October 1938

A cracking shot of Aeolus on Sydney Harbour on the 26th of November 1938. WOW!!

Aeolus is an amazing looking yacht and she is worth the effort to track down.

Her Owner Len Easy passed away some years ago and to date there has been no one who remembers the yacht by that name.  

Len Easy loved square metre yachts and I found this article about his holiday experience in the USA.

Aeolus,  Where is she now?

Could she be one of our currently listed yachts?

There are 2 possible candidates. 

Skye which sank in Sydney harbour or Toothpick which was advertised in Ebay 3 years ago and was located in Windsor. Toothpick was a mess with split planks and collision damage and she may have been destroyed.

The owner of Skye will be tracked down for his story.

The other possibility is that she is still out there stored in a shed or hiding up a creek somewhere.... 

If you have any information that might help in our search we would love to hear from you.
