Back on topic- drove Leewuin Cerberus and Waterhen boats or dove off them. I'd vote glass on the one pictured and bet the name was post Navy days.

Back off topic- Will be putting my kids in my former bunk on Vampire this weekend after a little run on Sunday over the nice bridge in Sydney :)

Are the mess decks open? Last time we were there [ many years ago] we weren't allowed in , because of asbestos scare. Bob

We saw the last 21 inch torpedo fired in the RAN from a surface ship [ Vampire] off Singapore in 1969? I think. Target was HMS London, who was carrying out a gunnery attack on us, firing off set . She sent us a signal -" congratulations Vampire, torpedo passed under our bow". Bob

Just read this total thread, some of which I found quite interesting, although I found the estimated power outputs of two 903s at 12-1500 HP to be rather "optimistic"!
Has the O.P. seen the "resurection" of this thread I wonder, & what has happened to the boat the subject of the thread sinse?
It would be interesting to see what's happening, as this boat is obviously the "genuine article".

You must have missed this when you read the total thread, I guess, Bob


.........Hi Pete..I currently own this boat after purchasing her from the owner..Yes she is in a sad state for sure...Powered by two turbocharged perkins diesels through v-drives....email is waynegalvin49@gmail.com

Funny,when I was 16 one of my first ever jobs was to put the third layer of hull planking on a boat like that.As far as I'm aware it is still at Empire Bay. Pat

I don't think I've missed anything, but I'm always happy to be corrected Bob, so, maybe you can do that for me?

No worries Bob.
Well, I did ask, "what had happened" to the boat....etc.
Now I see that the current owner has come on here, so my question was, & still is, "What had/has happened", to the boat.
Someone said it was looking a bit sad, and that was a few years ago, (this is a "resurected" thread) so in view of that, as it had "history" etc, I'm asking "what's happened to it",....ie, has any repair/resto work been done etc, to ensure its longevity, and what is it's current condition?
