Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Hi All

Greetings from sunny Hobart

I have been preparing a 10 ft kneel down Hydro for Narranderra , trailer and car booked on ferry (no refunds) ready to go. BUT I have had a minor accident with my knee which has left me on crutches for a while, which makes life a little difficult.

Looking for Test and Tune Pilots (crash test dummies) and a bit of a hand At Narranderra , would be a shame not to bring it. Any volunteers ?

Stuart

Load it all up Stuart and keep coming, we might have to do a Frankenstien to get all the good knees and backs in the same body. What day do you arrive on the big island?
Alan.

Looks like you are looking for excuses Stuart! Toughen up mate and don't let a small injury spoil the trip to Australia! See ya there.

Chris

No excuses or sympathy needed Chivs, looks like you are first up , you might need to bring a change of jocks, hopefully will be reasonably quick.
Thanks Alan , an orthopaedic surgeon would be handy at the moment. Have declined help from a couple of people claiming to be handy with a scalpel .

Stuart

Stuart, does it fit inside the bruiser or on the roof racks,

Hookster, you listening? you might have to give it a go, I believe your used to water around your knees!

Alan I'm pushing 120kg at the moment (am planning on doing some you-beaut de-tox diet thing after Nerandera, so I plan on being unrecognisable at the Yarrawonga wet together). What's the maximum load limit on those dastardly things Stu? Will it just nose dive if I'm on it?

No offence but it may not FLOAT if your on it.

I'll jump in now, no offence Ray, of course, if you give it, you have to take it as well, which of course you have done.

Apparently if you paint it yellow it will help with the floatation, but doesn't make it go any better.

Hookster you fat bastard, we will put it in the shallows, rev the ring out of her while you waddle along and jump on, just don't stall her otherwise you should jump off so we don't have to dive looking for it!

Watch out for Captain Pugwash me hearties!

Ray most of my body is made of material that is lighter than water, so I have positive boyancy

I like your idea Chivs....sort of like a dry start then?

Is Bourbon lighter than water?
