COMMITTEE ROOM MAKEOVER
Over the weekend the Committee room at the DSS was freshened with a coat of paint. I would like to thank Club Members Kim Elliott, Louisa Vanderkruk,
Richard Fisher and daughter Chloe and Peter Stanley for assisting me in the
completion of this task. |

|
|
There is still much to do. The tables are in need of a refurbishment and there are 27 chairs to upholster. So, if you would like to give a hand, please call Rear commodore Colleen on 041813515 during this week. |
|
Sailing Through Waters and Skies by Dorothy Dardens will close at the beginning of next week. If you are interested in purchasing any of the works please contact the DSS prior to Monday 29th May 2017.

Blood, Sweat and the Sea
The new Muir family biography, Blood, Sweat and the Sea, was launched at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival. Following on from
John's father Jock Muir's biography in the early 1990s, this book continues the
Muir maritime legacy and details the establishment of the Muir winch, windlass
and deck equipment business. |
|
|
|
|
The Muir name has long been synonymous with boat building, competitive sailing and the marine manufacturing business in Tasmania. Former ABC journalist Mike Swinson has written an engaging account of John's early life in Battery Point, his forebears and their strong maritime link, and the amazing amount of hard work in building a globally recognised and respected manufacturing company from Tasmania. This book also includes fascinating anecdotes and contributions from some of the global marine manufacturing industry's biggest names. This book is now available to purchase at the DSS Office. |
|
The Squadron now has a used battery drop off container located in the slip-yard. Please see our Marine Facilities Officer Peter for more details. |
