Two boats at the yard

The western shed extension came in handy for some re-fitting work on my recently acquired sanity machine called "Teria". She is an Investigator 563 class trailer yacht designed by Kevin Sheppard of Sydney in the 1970's. I noticed a big difference in size between a 35' 5" long Wylo and the 18' 6" long trailer sailer! Mostly in displacement and volume.

The "Teria's" keel has a few similarities with a centerboard version wylo2 (my wylo is fixed keel). A shoal draft keel contains the swing down centerboard. The centerboard is lowered for beating to windward mostly and comes in very handy as a shallow water warning system..

The work on "Teria" involved center-plate removal and restoration, trailer overhaul and painting, some floorboards and a battery install.

I bought "Teria" so we could go sailing now within our budget at this time. She will provide some sail training and experience.
