"Orthona" is a very pretty timber motor vessel, converted from a fishing vessel, built in NSW in the 1940's. She is strongly constructed with 1" oregon planking over hardwood framing, and is powered by a reliable Mercedes 85 hp diesel.

- electric fridge
- 4 x 12v batteries with solar charging
- marine toilet with holding tank
- VHF radio
