G'day guys,
I now own a mark two top hat called 'It's Time', from pittwater. The boat needs a bit of TLC but she will come up nice im sure. We will be sailing her down to sydney in the next few weeks . Im wondering if the boat has some history behind her. On the transom the paint has fadded and she is from Carnies and i think it was called 'Dawn' somthing.
Very keen to catch up with all you hatters.
She will be moored in lane cove river, so swing by and say g'day.
Aaron.

Hi Aaron
I'm not 100% on this one ? But I think the late Tom Joels (Joels Boatshed Middle Harbour ) had a Mk2 Top Hat named "Dawn "and she had a cream /beige coachhouse and a brown mast . I'm talking 1980's

Cheers Bear

G'day bear,
Thanks for the help in tracking down the history, but i dont think it is, i have not had a very close look at the coach house, and there is no brown on the mast, but possibly there could have been . thanks for the help.
Cheers,
Aaron

Congratulations Aaron!

Pictures.....

Now you get to go make some memories....

If you need crew to sail south, give me a hoy...

Congratulations - may you have many sailing adventures in your new Toppy.

Cheers,

Thanks guys,
I will put up some pictures in a few weeks when she is in a better state. We are sailing back to sydney on the weekend, and we will be right for a crew. We need to have a TopHat gathering.
Cheers guys.

I would love to get together with you when you get to Sydney and take a peek.

Aaron, have a great sail down the coast and watch the Swansea Bar!

If you get holed up in Pittwater, let me know and I'll come visit.

Diana, we will have to meet up soon and Miker, im sure it wont be the last time dawn breaker will be in pittwater
