SV Rhona H - Heritage Sailing Tasmania
This directory lists heritage-related businesses and services nationwide. It is searchable, with suppliers organised into several relatable categories for your convenience.
Built in 1942 and now operated by Heritage Sailing Tasmania with our all-volunteer crew. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself and experience how the trading ketches of old sailed and plied Tasmanian waters. Guests enjoy complimentary refreshments as we sail the River Derwent. We sail most weekends and some Thursday twilights.
The SV Rhona H is based in Hobart, just a ten-minute walk from the CBD at the very end of the Pier. It’s a short walk down the dock to see the harbour and you’ll see us alongside behind the security gates.
More than just a sailboat ride, join us for an authentic sailing experience and an amazing way to see Hobart and surrounds whilst contributing to keeping some of our maritime heritage afloat.
A tall ship is a large, traditionally-rigged sailing vessel. Popular modern tall ship rigs include topsail schooners, ketches, brigantines, brigs and barques. Rhona H is a Class B ketch.
Class B: Traditionally rigged vessels (i.e. gaff rigged sloops, ketches, yawls and schooners) with an LOA of less than 40 metres and with a waterline length (LWL) of at least 9.14 metres.
SV Rhona H is the oldest and smallest operating tall ship in Hobart.
Check the schedule on our website for current details as times are subject to change. We ALWAYS set the sails and all ages are welcome. Kids (of all ages) love to take the helm, steer the ship, haul on lines and ring the bell.
Remember, the temperatures in southern Tasmania may be cool so pack a jacket: we have hot water bottles to keep your hands warm! Please, no high heels (not so much for the deck, but to look after your ankles)!
