    Hi Greg

    Like the patterns in the water & the pp treatment makes it stand out a bit more
    I query tho the date '1830' .... could something as apparenty frail as this survive for 185 years?

      Phil the slipway itself dates back to that era as it was one of the first in the state and many quite historic vessels were built there. I've no idea as to how much of the gear is original if any, but the cradles have been designed that way from the early days.
      Could be like Granddad's axe... apart from a few new heads and handles.. it's original!
