The Yacht’s Story
Lost and Found – Spotted by John McCormack (Morning Bird) in Refuge Bay
We had just spent the weekend in the Hawkesbury and were in Refuge for a swim and shower under the waterfall and I saw a red S&S34 on the other side of the bay. We motored past on the way out and didn’t see anybody on board. I would have called out if I had realized she was a Search and Rescue.
She is red topsides with a white or light colored deck, in boom reefing, a furler and a fawn dodger. She is the same 4 porthole model as Morning Bird (1984/85??) and looks to be in very good condition. I suspect she is based somewhere in Pittwater or the Hawkesbury to be in Refuge Bay on a Sunday afternoon.
Webmaster note:
From our records, it seems that Sinclair Hutton bought Bob Sampson’s Terian (hull 40) and renamed her Syzygy, but later sold her and built a new Mk 2 boat which he named Syzygy. The boat referred to could be the original Terian, as the hull is said to be red.
This yacht now moored west of church point towards browns bay mc cards creek owners name is john Hughes told me boat once owned by Neville cottee
Great to find this website.
I purchased the yacht from the previous owner in Pittwater in 2019. She is now moored in middle harbour. Still red hull.. for now.
