Sea Breeze Back on Water After 18-Month Restoration | Sydney News

The beloved Little Blue Boat, Sea Breeze, is back on the water after a 18-month restoration led by the Wooden Boat Centre in Hobart. Once torn from its mooring in a 2024 storm and left grounded, this 50-year-old icon was painstakingly rebuilt — with new ribs, keel, deck, and even a community-voted ‘Bondi Blue’ paint job. Though not fully restored yet (the mast still needs replacing), its triumphant return honors the late Robin Attrill, who gifted it to the centre for just $1. The boat will be officially unveiled at next year’s Wooden Boat Festival, with hopes of finding a new custodian to keep its legacy alive through community use.
