Welcome
to the Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association website.
This site is here for all those interested in classic wooden powerboating in
Australia. It covers speedboats, raceboats, racing skiffs, hydroplanes and
anything else that floats, is made of wood, goes fast and makes a lot of noise
doing it.
On offer on the site are pictures and articles of owner's boats, restoration
projects, ordinary runabouts that have been in families for years, boats that
are no longer extant but deserve a mention, old raceboats, past drivers and races, in fact
anything about old wooden powerboats. Most pictures and articles are from contributors, people with a story to
tell.
The Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association is made up of enthusiasts
from all over Australia. You don't have to own a wooden power boat to become a member, but only
wooden boats are permitted at our "gatherings".
A large part of this website is our Bulleting
Board. The BB provides a forum to exchange information on the
wooden powerboat scene in Australia as well as amongst the group. While you do not have
to be an Association member to use the Board, it is encouraged.
Subscribers to the Association also receive the Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat
Association's newsletter, "THE HOLLOW LOG",
which is published every three months.
Please enjoy our website.
