TS16 1626 'Dadning' launched at CCSC
The Ballard family, CCSC and the Hartley Association all has something special to celebrate today with the launching of the newest member of the Ballard and TS16 family No. 1626 'Dadning' named after Darren's grandfather (Ralph's father) who was a master woodworker, and passed down his craftsmanship & boatbuilding skills through the generations. Something that Darren hopes to continue into the future.
After a small launching ceremony attended by family at the boat ramp, the boat's 'maiden voyage' was participation in the 'Serg Vescovi Trophy', a race held annually by the club since 1975. The boat and it's crew appeared to perform admirably, and looked a treat on the water.
Congratulations and well done to the builders Darren & Ralph, and to Tammy as first mate. May you get many years of enjoyable sailing from her… err, him?
