As the summer sailing season comes to a close, I’ve been a little quiet the last few weeks.

As tie on blocks become ever more popular Allen Brothers have produced their own version of a “dog bone” making rope attachments much more user friendly and simple.

The Australian Wooden Boat Festival held Bi-Annually in Hobart is a must for any boat owner.

On the weekend we celebrated 50 years of the Flying 11.

Last weekend I was back out on the water for the first time this year.  For over ten years I’ve been running the Adams10 Nationals when they’ve been held on the harbour.

10 years ago the Yeomans' family purchased DeckHardware. Looking back it has been a rollercoaster of a journey.

The Joe Adams designed 10m debuted in the mid 70s and quickly gained a foothold at Middle Harbour in the inshore divisions. Originally built by Paul Kelly and then a few others including Dave Dillon, the A10 is the perfect harbour racer I think.

I barely know where to start. I am back in the DeckHardware Warehouse already and cannot believe how fast it went.

Last night I attended the Australian Sailing Awards. I was able to take our DeckHardware Ambassador Lauren Gallaway as a thank you for all that she does.

Lauren not only supports us in return for our support. During the school holidays in the lead up to the Sydney Sailboat Expo she came into the office to assist in some of the work that needed doing. Then on the weekend of the Sydney Sailboat Expo she assisted us with taking care of Instagram as well as doing interviews. It was nice to be able to say thank you.
