First to come off the new slip in 1948 was the 41ft sloop, Lass O'Luss, built for John Colquhoun. She was a Robert Clark (UK) designed ocean cruiser launched just in time to compete in the 1948 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. 

 

She was later purchased by Bill Psaltis of the Cruising Yacht Club, who raced her very successfully before being sold to a Victorian owner.
