“The Remarkable 6. 4 Revival Fibreglass Offshore Boat It was a rather strong S-S-E wind, when I impressed on JV Marine’s Senior Sales and Technical Executive, Angelo San Giorgio, that the time is right for a demonstration of a very special boat that I had my eye on for a long time. He expressed hesitation and reluctance in his response to my assertion. The boat in front of me was the exciting Revival 6.4 meter off shore fibreglass craft designed and built by the legendary boat builder, Sam Catanese, founder of Revival Fibreglass Boats, based in Bayswater, Victoria.

Deen Maar (the island and adjacent coastal region off south‑west Victoria) is a small but significant offshore island and coastal protected area offering dramatic cliffs, important seabird and seal habitat, cultural values for Gunditjmara and Eastern Maar Traditional Owners, and a clear contrast between exposed Bass Strait seascape and the comparatively sheltered waters inside the Moyne/Port Fairy approaches. From the water it is best treated as an ecological and cultural landmark rather than a place for casual landings: recreational boating activity is concentrated at Port Fairy, Killarney, Y
