This cruiser has been spotted on a few websites, and is recorded as being designed by Captain Dennis Bailey, and was built in Sydney in 1954.
It's fitted with a single screw Perkins 6-354 Turbo engine (200HP), and appears to be fairly original throughout. It was last noted as being located in Brisbane, QLD, and associated with the Royal QLD Yacht Squadron.
A beautiful example of the popular "Bridgedeck Cruiser" design in Australian boating.
