The Yachts

Eos

 

Apart from sailing two Sydney to Hobarts (the last in the 60), Eos has sailed to New Zealand and Hawaii and has cruised the Eastern seaboard from the Barrier Reef to Eden. In Sydney she raced with MHYC and sported a small bronze canon mounted on the coach house. Victories in yacht races were celebrated by cannon fire in the North Harbour as she approached her mooring.
