Vessel : Typhoon

Launch Date : 1939

Bill arrived in Australia From the UK in the 1960s and was inspired by three square metre yachts which he saw racing on the Clyde River in England.

Bill bought Typhoon in 1979 and over a period of years totally refurbished her with an extensive renovation and strengthening process. 

She lives at RQYS Manly and Bill has enjoyed every bit of his long custodianship and still sails her on occasion. A few modifications has allowed Bill to easily sail her single handed and he has entered her in the occasional offshore racing events. 

Launched in 1939 by Les Steel in Lake Macquarie. she was built with spotted gum and oregan pine construction. Extremely well built she is a fine looking vessel and the only square metre boat in Queensland.

I highly recommend watching this short video of Typhoon..
