I like Diablo and the air boat with the 50's fins and no grille around the blades!

Some great video only it was spoilt by the "watermark" across the middle of all the videos which meant that it was hard to see the details of the boats

Unreal Dave, good find. I am going to practice speaking like a 40's newsreel commentator. How jolly splendid!!!

"Wendy" The only Wendy that I ever saw racing was a Everingham skiff race by Jack Lewitz. I believe she was smashed when being run over by the skiff "Trigger" driven by is friend but arch racing rival Laurie Marshall during a championship weekend at Cabarita. During this incident unfortunately Jack's back was broken and he was made a paraplegic.
