188 SY Ena
One of the stars of the 2018 Sydney Classic and Wooden Boat Festival was undoubtedly SY Ena.
Built in 1900 for Thomas Dobbs, the then Commodore of the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, she graced the harbour until taken over by the RAN in 1917 and sent to northern Australian waters until 1920. After the war it again became privately owned until it sank in 1980.
After being refloated and restored to near original, it sailed to Western Australia for the period of the Americas Cup races in 1987, and eventually returned to Sydney where it is now in the trust of the ANMM's National Maritime Collection.
SY Ena is 34.5m overall, and weighs 65t, with propulsion being a compound steam engine.
