He has the basic knowledge of yacht design, can weld, and is handy as a carpenter, all the skills necessary.
On his transfer with employment to Darwin in the Northern Territory Australia, he immediately joined the Darwin Sailing Club. Hours were spent being involved in sailing activities on other skippers boats, until finally a contract was finalised with a local boat builder to build the hull for a thirty-four-foot steel temptress design yacht. Once the hull was completed, Harry commenced the fit-out, which took three years to complete.
