Photo Collection - WANDA
The following photos are from the collection of Bob Rushton.
Bob's father, Jack Rushton, was the Commodore of the Illawarra
Motor Boat Club and
raced the WANDA skiff and runabout hulls in the late 1950's. Tragically, he died
in
a racing accident at a club meet in March 1959.
Bob is keen to find out more about the racing history of the
WANDA boats and if they
are still in existence. You can contact Bob via email.
