Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

I recently was offered a stack of magazines from the late 60's, from an old family friend who raced a skiff from 67-70. I have had a quick flick through some of them, and there are photos and race meeting results etc from that period. Dave P, there is a photo of Rhonda Babe racing in one of them, for example. I will go through them in detail and make notes of all the boat names that crop up, hopefully it may fill in a few missing links for some of our club members! Stay tuned, Jon.

If those magazines where acquired on your recent trip to Hobart , I remind you that it is against the law to export such items to the mainland. Strict penalties such as finds and possible imprisonment may result.

Is that because they are latest boating news from the main land !!!
Ross

Could you possably scan some of the articles of interest
and post them up on here Hookster?

Cheers

That would be "fines" not finds......thanks Ross I did put my self out there for a kicking.

Stu I'm just trying to equalise the flow of boating bits and pieces, by bringing a bit of stuff out of Tassie And you know where you can stick your laws!!

Thommo I'll scan some stuff when I get a chance and post it up. I am working through the articles, race results, and photos in the magazines and jotting down the names of woodies and their driver's at the time, which I'll post up in a list. There are probably other members who also have the same mags, so I may be reinventing the wheel to some extent.

Stu, in your travels down there, can you keep an ear to the ground regarding the location of a 13' skiff which was called Annette? I doubt if it still exists, but wouldn't mind getting hold of it if it's still around. It was last heard of in about 1970 when it was sold (minus motor).
