Colin Quincey’s Tasman Trespasser One

Colin Quincey’s self built yorkshire dory was constructed to withstand a full force tropical cyclone. The plywood and fibre glass boat was lacking todays modern wonders of Global positioning systems and satilite phones. Colin self navigated his way across the Tasman using a sextant and dead reconing. Having to carry his own water the entire hull was filled with 900 pounds of fresh water. The open top boat had a Radar Reflector and VHF radio aerial even though he communicated with no one over the course of his expedition.
