CLASSIC WOODEN BRIDGE-DECKER AT LEIGH – WONDABYNE

Recently Tobias Forsyth located a treasure trove of old photos from the Leigh area, a mx of workboats and pleasure craft. 

Todays photo shows a bridge-decker sporting a steading sail. Vessel name unknown, the photographer is listed as Robyn Kellian.

In my eyes the classic wooden launch looks like LADY JOYCE , refer WW link https://waitematawoodys.com/2014/03/22/lady-joyce/ but I’m wrong more often than I’m right, so hopefully we can put a name to the launch.

  2. Whilst I can’t ID the boat in this image, in my view there is no doubt, she is definitely not the LADY JOYCE.

    L. J. has a much longer bridgedeck, & quite a flair in the bow, & this boat does not have a long bridgedeck or flair, also it looks to me as if the L. J. is a longer boat, & she also has more square windows in the tram top. — KEN R
