</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Dear Ossie</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Thank you so very much for taking Sea Hawks lines. I had leveled the boat before you took the lines, however she had moved a little. I’ve leveled shortly after your measurements and recorded that she was 1 cm higher to starboard than on the port side.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Arlmond (a <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Melbourne</st1:place></st1:city> boat builder) considers that when launched Seahawk may have been completely open. According to the Cullivers who were the second owners in 1923 she had a half cabin only, with redgum slat seats right around the cockpit. This half cabin had the two port holes one on each side. I described this to Tim Phillips many years ago. Some time ago he restored a Jones boat to as close as we know Seahawk was originally. However he considers the keel had straightened somewhat and his restoration gave the keel of “<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“ more curve. This craft “ ? “ a member of the Portsea Couta Boat Club is a few feet shorter than Sea Hawk.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Recently talking to our local boat builder Geoff Lipscomb he told me of a half cabin matching the size of Sea Hawks half cabin that sat behind a house near the waterfront at Port Albert for some years. It had four bolts holding it to the combing. And we considered that it was fitted on for ocean work inside the entrance. This is quite likely and I am trying to find out the facts.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Harry Broche owned Sea Hawk for a few years before 1950. He did professional fishing and some lighthouse runs and other interesting projects? My father purchased her from Harry in 1950, and Ted Broche completed a restoration building the present two stage cabin.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I have recorded every bit of history from 1920cwhen she was built up the Maribynong river by Jones. It is extensive including my father’s logs and my own. I will soon incorporate it into the third edition of my book “Bass Straight Memories”. As you requested following is the brief history.-</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Sea Hawk was built up the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Maribynong</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">River</st1:placetype></st1:place> in 920 by John Jones (a Swedish boat builder). She was built for a partnership to take parties out from <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sorrento</st1:place></st1:city> pier. The partnership didn’t continue. She was taken over by the Cullivers, Harry, Joe and Sandy for recreation at first. A taller mast was stepped and the lugsail rig was changed to gaff.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The Culliver boys decided to go professional fishing which continued until the depression. At that time they decide to use a smaller boat and Sea Hawk on logs was rolled up the beach at <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Rye</st1:place></st1:city>. She was found there by Dick Avery and Harry Shiels of Port Albert in 1939. They persuaded a wealthy furniture merchant of Melbourne Andrewather to finance them for shark fishing out of Port Albert. On the trip around they replaced the petrol/kero Fordson engine with a McCormack Deering at <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">San Remo</st1:place></st1:city> and new shaft and propeller were fitted also.</div><div class="MsoNormal">They hit a gale off <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Cape</st1:placetype> <st1:placename w:st="on">Liptrap</st1:placename></st1:place> and the red sails were blown out.</div><div class="MsoNormal">At Port Albert Dick Avery and Harry Shiels used Sea Hawk for shark fishing from 1939 until approximately 1945. They considered extending her stern but were persuaded to buy a larger boat “Sea Fairer”.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Harry Broche then took over Sea Hawk, he did some lighthouse runs and some professional fishing. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Around 1948 she was transported to Ted Broche’s boat yard. Restoration took place with re ribbing. </div><div class="MsoNormal">And when the ribbing was finished my father Charley Davidson bought the boat from Harry in 1950. Ted Broche then completed the work and built the two level cabin.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">She was re launched in 1951 and used by Charley, family and friends for recreation and some parties. Elder son Geoff sailed her while younger son Ken was in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New Zealand</st1:place></st1:country-region>. On Ken’s return they sailed together. Geoff left to reside in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canberra</st1:place></st1:city> and Ken sails her today.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Sea Hawk, up on her low loader now has her deck replaced again and cabin re clad. She will be re launched again in two weeks for the 2008/9 fishing and sailing season.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Enclosed are some sketches and photos that should help with your models.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
