Launch of Esperance

On Sunday many of the usual suspects from the LBT went down to the Port Esperance Yacht Club to help them launch the just completed St Ayles Skiff ‘Esperance’ – hull number 36 in Australia we were told.

Jack, Peter and JP had particular reason to celebrate, as they have all been heavily involved in the build.

The paparazzi was particularly pleased to be able to reveal JP’s naked feet to the Australian public, a sight never seen by them before.

Speeches were spoken, and champagne spilt.

Then is was onto the water and off, where she rode the waves like a bird.

Thanks to Endra O’May for the pics.
