| RL24 | 15 | - | Hill, Noble, and Perrins | Brisbane, Qld, Australia | Syndicate of 20yr olds first boat. Looking to fix the boat up over time and get into a bit of racing. | Edit |
| RL24 | 189 | un-named at present | Phillip Hawes | Wynnum, QLD, Australia | I have just bought her (27/6/04). The boat was originally named Phoenix and then subsequently Lisa Marie. She is presently un-named. She was sailed in Western Australia for a while before returning to Queensland. Used for racing in Gladstone. Will now be refitted for cruising around SE QLD. Looking forward to many days of pottering around with paint, timber and resin. And even more days of lazy sailing. | Edit |
| RL28 | "K-Sera" | Alan Chester | Trinity Park, QLD, Australia | Bought from Richard Hartog in Albany Park-Brisbane-QLD who made some 50+ terrific minor and major changes to this RL28 and his work and thinking was great - opened her right up with a full sliding hatch and dropped the stair height, opened the front bow opening and relocated the galley to on top of the keel box and RH side up front. His work is appreciated in making K-Sera a lovely yacht to now live in and sail. Set up for total single handed mast raising (easy). Made her stronger and added extra storage and finer pints. The canopy made of fibreglass in lieu of a Bimini is amazing at shade and holds 2 x 80W solar panels. I'll get some shots up when she is re-upholstered and cleaned up. (Xmas 2013) | Edit | |

| RL28 | F66 | ? Sealeggs(Dingo) | Neil Ensor | SouthLake, W A 6164, Australia | Bought from Cairns via Brisbane 18 months ago.Formerly known as "Dingo" (guess y the name was changed ?before purchase was finallised of course),to allay any superstition.Sealeggs came with an Italian diesel which actually started upon arrival but soon died on maiden voyage,with mast down!just off the groin outside Fremantle Sailing club.Even with a workshop manuel & a professional diesel mechanic she never was to start again.So this involved a major rethink resulting in a Mercury 15hp being installed on a custom built s/s bracket into the well,now she flys.I swear my G.P.S. read 9 knots!!! honest.I,m not convinced the 14ft boom with roller reefing is the ideal set up as I have experienced her rounding up over 15 knots of wind;or perhaps I need sailing lessons!My mast is quite heavy with 3 pairs of stays to support her; unlike the lighter mast,shorter boom & 2pair stays of "Leggend" recently sold from F.S.C. to Flying Squadron (now returned) .Sealeggs is an older RL28 having the fixed cabin roof,and fixed winch handles.Athough the son of the previously deaceased owner towed it from Cairns to Brisbaine for sale,I have experienced much wheelbearing problems,just towing it from the ramp to the hardstand !Sold in Nov 2002 to a couple in Rockingham who plan to spray it Maroon (much missed) | Edit |

We are now off to Perth with work so looking for a 'loving' owner. Peta bought the boat in late 2007 and after changing the keel winch to electric has raced with the Augusta Yacht Club with 3 other RL 24's plus mixed fleet,since then with experienced skipper Ray Wakelin. 2007-8 missed club champion on count back. 2008-9, only beaten 4 times in 17 starts.

| RL24-US-built | no number | Aqu'apella | Ric Witham | Saskatchewan Beach, Saskatchewan, Canada | Just got her home. Former name Masterful because she threw off her previous mast. Not at all sure of her history but was bought by her previous owner without a mast. Thanks to Rob Legg who contacted me to advise that she is not the most northerly, I have to take second prize.

Relocated to North Haven September 2001 for some deep water sailing. Handles Gulf crossings beautifully. Still in great condition - with extras including fridge, auto pilot, GPS plus plus, so would only sell for something bigger. Offers vicinity $43K near the mark, but in the meantime I'm having a great time on it. | Edit |
| RL24 | 414 | Archina | Ian Cook | Point Lonsdale, Victoria, Australia | Mark 3 swing keel. Originally bought from Ross Coburn (1982?) by Geoff Olney who was his business partner and named "Archina" after his wife. I believe Geoff now lives at Ocean Grove. After 2 seasons he sold it to Graham Cox of Howard St, Shoreham who renamed to "Shoreham Follies". Later he sold it and it went to the Deviot sailing Club in Tasmania. Then Brendan Dance of Sanford Tasmania acquired it and renamed it "Serenade". In March 2003 it was bought by Ian Cook and sailed at Colac Yacht Club - a mecca for RL24S. Ian renamed it "Screaming' Blue Murder". Ian sold it in 2019 to ........... from Somers, who after having it for approximately one year sold it to a friend.............. and it is now housed at Gippsland Lakes Yacht Club and has reverted to its original name of "Archina". | Edit |

| RL28 | 144 | black beard | ray armstrong | gosford, nsw, australia | Hi, I have owned this boat for about 15 years or so. I bought it from a bloke in Qld who had bought it from the original owner. Apparently it was one of the last RL 28's made & was built for a Brisbane doctor to race. It was a special build & much kevlar & light weight materials were used. It also had extra mast height. The story goes that the doctor was so severally handicapped, after winning most races on the East Coast that he sold it in disgust! I would love to find out if all this was true, so if anyone has any info on black beard (sail # 144)I would love to hear from them. Many thanks. | Edit |

Bolero is my first big boat after a 14 foot dinghy and a Boomeroo 22. The RL28 is such a comfortable boat. After a weekend aboard, I come home feeling relaxed and rested. She's also beautifully balanced, set the tiller with a shock cord and she sails herself, heeling and correcting with the swell. I'm very proud to join the RL family and look foward to many years of sailing adventures in and beyond Moreton Bay. | Edit |

| RL24 | No # | Boondoggle | Chris Ashby | E. Fairfield, VT, United States | Just bought the boat, she wasn't named and we haven't deceided yet. Bit of a basket case. I think it's one of the US made ones. Hull number RLT11303M81J. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I also need to find a foward hatch as it is missing, any help would be greatly appreciated. Finally she has gone in the water. Two years of labor fixing her up. We had to repair the swing keel trunk edges and strip her down to bare fiberglass. Repainted the whole boat, hull and topsides. Fixed the rudder, closed in the front hatch, recaulked the windows (still leak a little) stripped the interior of the bad carpet job. So she is a whole new boat just about, on the outside anyway. She has spent time on Lake Champlain, Vermont. She handles very nicely, very stable boat. This summers projects include rewiring her lights and fixing up the interior. | Edit |

| RL34 | 1 RQ34 | GERONIMO | Bob Kerwin | Crib point, Vic, Australia | First out of the mold,though i think the RL34 that was made of wood would be still sailing.Geronimo was originally Rob Legg's own RL 34, well known up the Queensland coast,i bought her and had it trucked from Manley Qld. now she sails the tidal waters of Westernport and coastal Victoria, I am very happy with the roomy fit out and the way she sails, she is proving to be a very good choice for this area and is great for getting in and out of creeks, or a speedy passage along the bass strait coast and is easily sailed single handed many improvements since owning including,new prop shaft and coupling new ST 4000 mk2 autopilot with GPS interface,new radios,a new Maxwell vwc 800 anchor winch fitted sept. 2005. its now OCT 2012, Thinking of selling due to little use | Edit |

| RL24 | One | GERONIMO | Bruce (Charlie) Charlesworth | Boreen Point, Qld, Aust | Bought this old RL in 1999 from the family of the late Ron Ward in Gympie. A lot of people know this boat, as it may be one of Rob Legg's own production 24's or perhaps a clever copy? Looks identical to photos in old books & mags. Sail number 1 on most of the sails, sign writing, pulpit etc all identical, however the mystery of a mark one hull with the later deck, ie 120mm wide cockpit gunwhales. Hull colour orange with beige deck. Many fabulous cruises & holidays around Whitsundays, Keppels, Fraser Island. Based at Lake Cootharaba. | Edit |

The lifting keel of the RL28s is perfect for visiting spots such as Blue Hole, and for traversing Days Gutter - even at near dead-low tide! I'd love to trail Jezabel behind my 78 LandCruiser - perhaps to Noosa, perhaps to the Whitsundays, | Edit |
| RL24 | 216 | JimRummy | Peter Jensen | Aitkenvale, Qld, Australia | Purchased July 2001 from Dave McCallum near Nambour following an advertisement on this site. Thankyou to the keeper of the site. The boat is now in Townsville where it will be a family cruiser. Our sailing will probably be limited to the coast between Hinchinbrook Is and the Whitsundays. I would be pleased to know of any RLs kept in the area or passing through. Fairwinds and happy sailing, Peter. | Edit |

Watch this space.Having rebulit trailer,installed new electronics,added a new stern rail,updated all safetygear,enhanced standing rigging she is now ready to launch with the greatest of confidence I cannot wait. My very first venture out to Jervis Bay was a great success, not only did the boat sail beyond expectations the wind was gentle and steady, anyone would think that I was expected.I then put her through her paces in a regatta held on Jervis Bay and her performance was exilerating. I am now adding a safety rail forward, for added protection of the crew when they are launching the Kite or working with the Jib. We will be out on the water over the winter period fine tuning our sailing skills, in readiness for the RL24 Nationals Titles being held on the Gippsland Lakes at Paynesville from the 2nd to the 7th of janruary 05. All going well I will see you there. | Edit |
| RL24 | 607 | Lightning Jack | Kingy | Camperdown, Victoria , Australia | History so far that we know of. 😎 Lightning Jack was part of a group of 8 boats that were a special order from a sailaway Boat Hire business based in Whitsunday Passage. Each of the boats was built to a specific marine survey set of specifications. Each boat was a swing Keel and had a light Blue coloured hull. After a season or two, the sailaway Hire Boat business located in Airlie Beach Qld, contacted the RL Yachts company to indicate that the RLs were not what they needed for the Whitsunday area. They boats were bought back by RL Yachts. Some time later the majority of these special order boats were sold to another business based on Port Stevens in NSW. They were used there for a number of years before being sold off. After this happened , the history gets very uncertain, there's an add showing two RL24's for sale in Perth, (I cant remember if it was 2003 or 2013)...... the add specifically states the name Lightning Jack as one of the RL's As to how "Jack" went from Brisbane Perth and back to Brisbane again and what transpired inbetween is still being investigated. However, 'Jack' ended back in Brisbane, before being offered for sale again and then was purchased by Ian Robbillard of Warrnambool, Ian purchased Lightning Jack from a car yard in brisbane before selling me Lightning Jack. As per "Jack's" history, we know that 8 RL's were specifically built for a sail-away charter company and these boats never received an allocated sail number as such. "Jack" was number 7 of this mini-fleet and so the owners gave him his initials LJ and the number 007 as his sail number (LJ007). Now I guess I could have just plucked a number out of the air that took my fancy and checked the associations register to see if it was taken or not and for all intensive purposes that probably would have passed the muster as such. So instead, after a few emails and some common sense being applied, the association has had a brilliantly simple solution to fix the problem...... Jack's 007 will be maintained in a small way that keeps his history correct and he gets an association allocated number that keeps the process neat and tidy and makes it all clear for future committees. Lightning Jack now has an association allocated number of 607. Quick history lesson..... RL600 was the last official boat to come out of the mould ... 8 RLs from the charter company never received a number as such. Jack was the 7th of this group... so he gets the 7 and the 600 together. ... 607. Should the other RLs from this charter group decide to be added to the register then it's a simple process to slot them in.... EG : 001 becomes 601 002 becomes 602 003 becomes 603 And so on....... 😎 007 became 607 Told you it was simple.... bloody brilliant really Many thanks to Paul Corben, Colin Boylan, and Rob Legg for their time and efforts on this tricky little problem that had a very happy out come in the end. "Jack" can be followed here...... https://www.facebook.com/Lightning-Jack-108840346439126/ | Edit |

| RL24 | 241 | Meg 7 (Prev. Capt Hook) | David Anderson | , QLD, Australia | I have just purchased this boat (Dec 17). It is kept on the Gold Coast still in very good condition for its age. It has been renamed Meg 7 in honour of the previous owners late wife. We can't wait for our maiden voyage Xmas day 2017. Previously named Capt Hook and owned by Greg St Baker in Redcliffe who sanded and polished the hull to bring it back to life and sailed regularly to Moreton island and to Tin Can Bay. And a note from the original owner, Ray Hooker: Capt Hook is a swing keel Mk111 RL24 that I built in 1979 using Robs' moulds. It was the first RL to be built with a sandwich construction using a Firet coremat and Kledgecel. It was also one of the first to use a fully battened mainsail. The hull colour is white and topsides (non-slip areas) are light blue. I sold the boat in 1988 and have since lost track of it. I would be interested to know where it is now. A word of * WARNING * to all those doing any refitting / renovations. It was common practice for fibreglass boat builders at least up to the mid 80s and sometimes later to bond the various moulding together with a "bog" comprising polyester resin and ASBESTOS. The colour of the bog is no indication since it was common practice to add left over gel coat to the mix. RL Yachts abandoned the use of asbestos in the early 80s. Capt Hook contained NO asbestos. Be very careful or better still avoid drilling or grinding the gunwhale area, keel / centreboard area or anywhere interior mouldings meet the hull particularly below the water line. | Edit |

A tidy industrial area also boosts employee morale and productivity, as staff are more likely to take pride in a tidy environment. Moreover, pressure cleaning reduces the buildup of residue and oil, which might be fire hazards. By implementing high-pressure washing, factory owners promote a safer and more efficient workspace.

| RL34 | Moonshine | Graham Morris | , NSW, Australia | Moonshine was the plug for the 34 foot boats. I bought moonshine from southport Qld in about 1985 and sold her to her new owner in about 1995. She was then located at Port Stephens. She was a great boat to sail, mostly single handed, and was quite fast under conditions up to 25knots of wind. She had a Volvo diesel with the sail drive leg and folding prop. The motor was mounted aft of the cockpit. I sailed out the Hacking River and on many occasions saw people amazed at where she could go, them not knowing she had a retractable Centre board. She sailed very well in light to moderate conditions with centre board up. | Edit | |

| RL24 | 263 | Ramena | Richard Edwards | Fish Creek, Vic, Australia | Dick used to sail on Ken Hackets boat Sasha and had the adrenalin rush of winning the Australian titles at Sandgate. He bought his own boat about 30 years ago and we had some great family adventures in it. However the family grew up, the boat was packed away and it has had a rest of around 12 years. Now there are some grandchildren and Pa is cleaning out the boat. It is about to be tried and tested all over again, or is it the man who will be tried and tested. | Edit |

| RL24 | 253 | Red Baron II | Alex Gibbs | Canberra, ACT, Australia | MK3 purchased in 1986, formerly known as 'Hugo'. Great sailing in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Terrigal, Merrimbula, Eden, Yass and Elmhurst. Happy in the Pacific Ocean to a local dam. Modified for spinnaker but never raced. Best upgrade was swapping the Suzuki 2-stroke outboard for a smaller Honda 4-stroke. Still used infrequently and a testament to Rob's genius in terms of easy sailing, low maintenance, straight forward towing (still have the original trailer, refurbished a few times) and fun for all the family. | Edit |

| RL24 | 420R | Ruby Jay | Gareth & Bill Asher | Upper Mt Gravatt, Qld, Australia | Bought 2007 from James Clow, Sippy Downs. Previous owner Charles Bartley in Manly. Originally had yellow hull. Possibly name Capricorn One. Was dumped at Noosa yacht and Rowing club some time in 2000/1. Bartley bought her 2003/4 from someone in Manly, sold her to James Clow 2005/6. November 2007 we bought her and berthed her at Hollywell. A bad attempt at covering the original yellow hull with what looked like house paint was remedied by complete paint job in 2014. Now white and dark blue. Replaced all deck fittings cost a bomb but looking forward to clear sky's and fair winds. Original owner was Jack Tullimans of Chelmer. Launched on the Brisbane River. He sold in 1978 but Jack sadly passed away in.May and I wasn't able to find out the next owner. Daughter thinks the name was 'Josephina" Anyone with more info greatly appreciated. After the 2023 Nationals she was reluctantly up for sale. Bought by Mark (Bob) and Alanna Watson from Harvey Bay. They wish to take her cruising. A good rest for the old Girl. We've had 14 years of great sailing on her. Miss her already. | Edit |
| RL24 | 420 | Ruby Jay | Steven Bartley | Hollywell, Qld, Australia | Now sold to Bill Asher. Please see the later entry. This vessel was purchased a couple of years ago from a backyard in Manly (Brisbane). It had a yellow hull but was not in very good condition at all. Has now been re-furbished and will be used for club races on the Gold Coast in 2007. We now have a white hull with dark blue below the waterline and a deck of pale blue. If anyone has any other information about the history of this boat I would be very pleased to hear from you. | Edit |

| RL28 | 125 | Sandpiper | Garry Beattie | Elliott Heads, Qld, Australia | We purchased "Sandpiper" from Stephen Claffey in Maryborough (9/3/2006) and it now calls Elliott Heads it's home port. We have made some changes such as a larger, 130W solar panel, 50L Fridge, 45L Freezer, GPS system, DVD with 15" LCD TV, BBQ etc to make it more of a cruising boat. We enjoy sailing it off Fraser Island regularly and look forward to our annual Whale Watching Adventure Cruise which we organise each year. In 2007 we plan to modify the trailer to make it more suitable for long distance towing so that we can visit places such as the Whitsundays, Sydney Harbour, Port Philip Bay and, possibly Tasmania. We tow the boat with 100 SERIES Landcruiser running both petrol and LPG. UPDATE January 2014: We have now owned Sandpiper for 8 years and I love this boat. It now has a Peterson Trailers Saltwater Series Tri axle aluminium trailer underneath it and tows like a dream. In 2013 the Volvo Penta Diesel motor was given a complete overhaul and reconditioned. A tour around Australia is now very much on the cards. | Edit |

| RL28 | 152 | Sea Horse | Mel Teudt | Carrara, QLD, Australia | Purchased in January 2007 from Peter (Charley) and Anne Pratt, the boat was then named Charley's Pride Peter bought the hull and all other fittings and completed construction on the front lawn of his home by 1990. After taking possession my brother and I sailed her up to Mooloolaba for our maiden voyage, and the return trip to the Gold Coast. The boat was then trailered to Sydney, where I spent several weeks sailing around Sydney Harbour before starting restoration works. Under her new name SEA HORSE, she was re-launched in January 2009 with a new Mercury 15hp 4 stroke motor which proved to be ideal. We are now requesting information on a suitable furler for the jib, and help from anyone who has installed a holding tank for the toilet system. We plan to sail/motor her down the Hawkesbury River to Broken Bay in the next few weeks, and next year our plan is to return to Queensland and the Whitsundays. | Edit |

| RL24 | 231 | Splice | Adrian Cassar | Ormond, Vic, Australia | After about 10 years of kicking about in dinghys (125's), we as a family decided to step up. After two weeks of sniffing around we found the right boat for us and bought the boat from Ken Griffiths on 23 May 2004, an RL24MK3 converted from swing to drop. Family and I can't wait to test it out and get to know her. At the inaugural launch, we will be renaming her from Splice to "Nelsons Victory". We couldn't change the name from 'Slice' as everyone we bump into seems to know of the boat and its history. So Splice it remained. After a year and a half we are finally getting to know how it all works. Will attempt the Nationals for first time this year (Jan 2006) - if I can motivate the crew). Sadly the day had come to sell Splice December 2007 after 3 1/2 years. A family from SA bought her.

| RL34 | SV Roma | John Price | Melbourne, Victoria, Australia | I have recently bought Roma from David Marsh and have sailed from Mooloolaba to home in Port Phillip Bay. Roma sails and motors very easily and no bad habits have so far been found. A comfortable boat. | Edit | |
| RL34 | SV ROMA | David Marsh | Bokarina, QLD, Australia | Purchased in April 08 she had sat for 12 months at the Yamba marina before I purchased her and sailed her up the coast to her new home at Mooloolabar. Was an interesting sail in that the Volvo Penta diesel had overheated and had to be shut down just prior to being hit by a storm off the coast of Ballina. Managed to get the Genoa furled but the severe squall hit before I could get the main down and as a result the main exploded and ended up a rag. Completed the journey on the poled out Genoa and finally found the motor overheating problem and fixed it in time to complete the last 10 hours with the Volvo purring like a kitten. Now that she is home she will be spruced up with a new main and lots of love and care. A great seaworthy boat!! Would love to contact other RL34 owners and learn more about the boat. Email: marshdav@hotmail.com. | Edit | |

| Status 580 | 32 | The Box | Angie Rickwood | Hamilton Island, Queensland, Australia | After much discussion wih Hamos' Commodorable, Greg Alward(The Lemon) and Windsurfing Denis (Cool Runnings), I tracked down The Box in Southport August 2006. It was packed and sent to the island via road frieght, 4wd and barge. She has an old 16ft skiff mast. No running backstays. I have lifted her and the hull is good. A nice royal blue. It might have been red. However I really have to give The Box a lot of love as she is tired. Everthing I go to use I have to fix or replace. A friend has rebuilt the rudder and she balances nicely. I am on the look out for skiff or status sails as the wardrobe is flogged and will be no doubt be for another season. Another Status 580?! I had my first sail the other day and it just rocked. The new jackstays were really tested in 25 knots. I am teaching my friends to sail and what a great boat for teaching. Everyone wants to go in my Box! Twilight racing has started. With 3 Status 580s we need a sponsor for our division. I can be found between the Boatyard and Marina Office. Fair winds my friend! | Edit |

Named the Lemon after our first Wed twilight race when everything that could have gone wrong just about did for an old neglected boat. Has since undergone refit with new rigg and sails to resemble MKIII model, with backstay we fly Etchell spinnakers, on board GPS proves speed over 14knts water pours in through the centre board case. Have competed in 3 Bay to Bay races, ASPAC Master Games at Southport, 190 twilight races, 29 regattas and won lots of trophies. Crew Trevor Hewitt and I are expat Elwood Sailing Club junior members, now in our later years we call the status 19 a "gentlemans skiff" and have a ball. There are now two 580's competing at Hamo and looking for more. If anyone would like to join us at the CYC of H.I. with their RL's please contact me the Commodore. | Edit |

| RL24 | 85 | Tickety Boo | Ian West/ Alicia Ellis | Adelaide, SA, Australia | Just bought her from Peter Charles at Hindmarsh Island, via Goolwa S.A. Peter said that he bought her from Rod Hunter @ Largs Bay about 5 years ago. She didnt have a name at that time, so Peter called her Tickety Boo (reference to Billy Connelly). She is in good shape, having been cruised around the Coorong and Lakes/Murray Mouth area in SA for the last few years, Peter also raced her from Goolwa. We are hoping to cruise the Coorong/Lakes/Murray Mouth area, and the coastal areas around Adelaide...also considering racing her at Brighton & Seacliff YC; maybe next season :) | Edit |
| RL24 | 428 | Tiga | Colin Skinner | Katoomba, NSW, Australia | I sold her in 2008 to a fellow in Melbourne. A MkIV drop keel version. I bought her 2007 down at Jervis Bay. Actually I swapped my Roberts 25 keel boat for her and a little extra. At first I thought she might be too tender for me but after sailing a mate's RL24 mkIV at this seasons Nationals at Lake Macquarie I now know how to handle her. I changed down from a previous Seaway 25 as it was getting too heavy to handle and lift the mast. Nice boat though. The RL is a dream to launch, tow, and even sail. A true off the beach TS and a lot of fun with regular 8knot speeds being achieved. I took her out the heads (Sydney) a few days ago and she loved the swell. No water came over the rails. i am considering a trip to Port Stephens up the coast but will pick the weather and the crew. i have sailed all my TS's offshore including a Boomarang 20 in 55knots and the Seaway in 35 to 40knots. No worries and great fun. May see you guys around some where out there on the liquid stuff. | Edit |

| RL24 | 0 | Tiki 2 | Rob& June Legg | Gold Coast, Qld, | "Tiki 2" was the origonal prototype RL 24, we built her under our house in Anglers Paradise on the Gold Coast in 1971, just 40 years ago , to a design I had drawn up 10 years previously, and had been dissuaded from building by my colleagues , because it was considered a boat of that size was too big to trail, however with the beautiful waters of the Broadwater at our doorstep now was the time to give it a try. Our boat was built using double diagonal planked construction, most of her fittings, along with the sails we made ourselves, and she had an over rotating mast, and just a timber swing keel without any ballast. We sailed "Tiki2" with the Southport keel boat fleet during the 71-72 season with success,and noted any improvments needed before using the hull as the plug for the mould of the early 24's. She was the Grandmother of the current fleet, and confusing as it may be, but just plain "Tiki" became our first GRP rL24. | Edit |

| RL24 | SP 79 | Trust Me | Douglas Byles | Nhulunbuy, NT, Australia | This was an extremely generous gift from Stephen Lane (see register). The boat has been submerged after the pivot bolt holes elongated. So having taken over, we have bailed it out and are now starting the cleaning and repairing process and very excited. I now know this boat was bought by a French couple and sailed to Gove. They then sailed to Darwin, where the boat was purchased by a gent know in Gove as FIG JAM. He took it to Groote Island, then returned to Gove with it. Later it was sold on to one Paul Mastin, who had many years of fun and enjoyment with it. He sold it on to Monkey Bill before it passed on to Wendy and Tracey Geddes (See earlier register). | Edit |

I have rejoined Sandgate Yacht Club which will now be her new base. Have now had a few outings and I am absolutely delighted. She is a lovely roomy yacht with pretty good headroom, almost enough for a 6' 3" me. She is a delight to sail although underpowered with only a small jib. Beautifuuly balanced, finds her way to windward with the tiller lashed! | Edit | |

| RL24 | Waltzing Matlida | Tom Miller | Brainerd, MN, USA | I bought this in 1981. I havn't sailed it in the past 5 or 6 years. I need to perform some "surgery" on it. I am anxious to spend time getting her seaworthy. I need a cockpit hatch seat / cover which was lost in a storm that damaged her. | Edit | |

| RL24 | Hull Reg 40177 | was Pelican now renamed Miss Stress Knot | Michael Andrews | Stratton, WA, Australia | I was told by previous owner Greg Rusha that it was named Pelican prior to his purchasing it. Any further info would be appreciated & or contact from anyone near the Midland area who has an RL24 would be apprecitaed. 19/03/11 I have been able to track down the 2nd? owner from Swan View who owned her from 1980-2000 before selling to some one down rockingham/saftey bay way 2000-2002. I would be very interested to hear if anyone knows - knew the 1st owner who kept her in the water @ Aquarama on the lower part of the Swan River & apparently raced her competetivley. | Edit |

| RL24 | 159 | Whatever | Darryn Dyer | Sale, VIC, Australia | Whatever is a MK2 swing keel previosly named Jeweltime and while sanding her back in prep for a respray found the name Intrepid II which I believe would be her original name. This boat has been a member at Lake Wellington Yacht Club for more than 20 years. B4 this I believe she was on a swing morring in Sydney.I purchased her Oct 04. I striped off the original soft sail rig, bow & stern rails,and have slowly been bringing her up to current race spec with Goldspar mast,North racing sails, new rudder, travler, spinaker shoot and a complete refit.My kids and I are now having some fun racing her.Still sailed at Lake Wellington Yacht club and Gippsland Lakes | Edit |
| RL24 | 109 | White Faced Heron | Brian Lund | MENINGIE, SA, | Recently became the "newest custodian" of this MK1 as Mark and Lynn head off on a new adventure.

| RL34 | Wilparina | Stephen & Grechen Flint | South Hedland, -Other-, Australia | We are now the proud owners of Wilparina. She still needs a lot of TLC to get her up to scratch. We are also looking to fit a soft dodger (open to suggestions) and change the main sheet position out of the cockpit to in front of dodger. | Edit | |
| RL34 | Wilparina | Ian Thomson | Cronulla, NSW, Australia | I purchased her as a kit boat and launched in 1984. She's a great cruiser! | Edit | |

| RL24 | Wings | Daryl Edwards | COOROY, QLD, Australia | I have had several yachts over the years but this one responds and points the best of all. We race every Wed on the Noosa River. It's flat water but I am sure that she could perform in the ocean very well. | Edit | |
| RL28 | Winsome | Mike Barnden | adelaide, sa, Australia | Recent purchase. New trailer made - works well. New flexible snapfurl fitted, ideal for safe derigging. Refinished hull back to glass then added a layer of glass in Vinyl ester resin topped with vinyl ester fill coat then final gel coat. This should eliminate any osmosis. There were some small bubbles around the water line when the boat was purchased. I rebuilt around the keelbox eliminating a number of years of nudging reefs. I suspect this boat was made for charter but have no real history to work with, any help I would appreciate. Sails well but seems to have a lot of weather helm in a blow. | Edit | |

| RL24 | 20 | Witch Hazel | Bob Symons | Redland, Qld, Australia | Bought June 2013. More fun than a sailboard. I added a generator and a coffee machine. A good boat for a single hander as the mast raise and lower is easy enough to do one out. | Edit |
