Here she is tied up at the jetty where she will hopefully be for years to come.  We made the journey from up-river yacht club to the marina with the escort assistance of the Fremantle Sea Search & Rescue boat.  While every system was checked and double checked this was first time in the water with new motor (the electric drive), untested main battery bank, bow thruster, new rudder and with the 2 masts strapped to the cabin roof, she would be vulnerable to other boats wakes and tidal rush etc.  As it happens we got her down river and safely tied up without a hitch.  Masts will come off and be cleaned up etc and mid Feb should see the first journey under sail.
