Remarks
The arrival in Auckland in September 1953 of Eric and Susan Hiscock on the first Wanderer is believed to have inspired Scarlet's first owner to commission her construction. It is known that he sailed her to the Cook Island and places north of New Zealand. The next confirmed stage of Scarlet's voyaging is that she was first registered on the Australian Ships Register with the home port of Melbourne in 1983. According to a survey in 1984 at East Coast Marina in Manly Queensland the 10 HP Bukh motor was fitted in 1982. The next major change occurred in 1989 when Geoffrey Born and partner Amanda York of Caboolture purchased Scarlet, trucking her to Perth in 1990 and after cruising off the lower Western Australian coast they shipped her to Darwin where she stayed until 1996 when they had her delivered by sea back to Caboolture only to find it necessary to sell her later that year. I purhased Scarlet in July 2007 from a couple in Wiliamstown, I believe that they owned her for 18 months and prior to that she was off Townsville for 4 years from there she was sailed to Wiliamstown.
Under my ownership Scarlet has been given a series of refurbishments, upgrades and consistent care and maintenance.
