Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Some footage of skiing in the 50's and 60's. Got to love all the safety gear.

Thats what you call close racing on a tight course!

Awesome! You would not want fall off, get to the bank real quick! Is that you Hookster in the yellow jump suit? At least some ideas for Yarrawonga 2013, no some real use for those trees that seem to be no longer in the way!

Bloody hell!! That wasn't me in the yellow jumpsuit Chivs, I was the poor bastard that had to do a wet start after the boat ran up on the bank. And that's exactly what I reckon I'll look like too.

I believe there is a club member who used to barefoot through a much tighter and no doubt shallower backwater off the Murray River upstream from Bundalong...got any video of those exploits Ric? Hmm?

Ah yes, the good old days when boating was fun. Was that last bloke going over the jump and dumping his butt into the water wearing nothing more than his budgie smugglers? OUCH!

My dad had the flotation belt when we got our fist boat in 1960 , had forgotten all about it untill now.
