Southern Aura being 'launched' into paddock for refurbishment circa 2003

Background

She was launched 1979. A number of badges in the saloon cabin indicate that she was active in the PHOYC Offshore Division in the 1985/86 and 1986/87 seasons. In 1986/87 she won the Ted Newbery Trophy.
Southern Aura moved to Callala Bay (north east corner of Jervis Bay on the NSW South Coast) around 1989. She was sold again in 1991 and relocated to Currambine Creek at Huskisson. This owner did some more internal fitting out and lived on board for an extended period.
We bought her in November 2000 and brought her up to Greenwell Point.
A refurbishment program is in train ............
