Roger Kyle is a passionate advocate for preserving Sydney's maritime heritage, specifically known for his efforts to save the Shane Gould, one of the last remaining RiverCat ferries. As the owner of Abbotsford Point Boatshed and a leaseholder of moorings at Fairmile Cove, he has been fighting for over a year to purchase the ferry and protect it from being scrapped. Kyle envisioned using the vessel for community events, emphasizing its cultural significance and the craftsmanship behind these iconic Australian boats. His proposal to Transport for NSW was ultimately rejected, highlighting the challenges faced in preserving historical vessels amid bureaucratic decisions.
