The First Fleet was a composition of foam and feather that my son put together. He called it First Fleet as it was the first time he had a real go at making a boat (not to overlook this is Botany Bay ). It sailed very well as you can see. One of its claimed features was that it could be ‘chuck launched.’ That is to say it could be launched by throwing it out behind the shore waves and it would land rite side up unbroken. The First Fleet was launched with Flying Squid at Congwong Beach
