A Hobart man has admitted loitering around a yacht club with the intent to commit a crime.

In August last year Alexander Brett White and two other men were seen by police acting suspiciously around the Lindisdfarne Yacht Club.

The White was wearing dark clothes, carrying a back pack and had a glove on one hand.

Police saw him interfere with a dinghy, look into boat sheds and take rope.

When police asked him what he was doing, he said just looking around.

In the Hobart Magistrates Court today, White admitted he had intended to commit a crime.

The 18 year old also admitted stealing more than $1,000 worth of gardening equipment from the Lindisfarne Village Garden Centre.

He told the court he wanted to landscape his backyard.

Magistrate Michael Daly ordered a pre-sentence report, before White re-appears in court next month for sentencing.
