"The RAT" .....LEON'S ALBUM pt3





Brothers Leon and Wayne ran this hot Handley Craft SK "The RAT" back in the day mostly dropping in at Windsor for a run to Dargle and back and usually on the old classic Black Max's or barefooting a chunk of the way ....Very cool pics fellas, cheers.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR


Hope you all enjoyed another year of AUSSIE SKIBOATS. Thanks so much to all the kind skippers that have shared their boats and albums with us. I hope yourselves and families have a very safe and enjoyable holiday season racking up plenty of boating hours. Please send in your snaps, tell us where you've been or show us what you seen.
Plenty of great boats to be featured and revisited in 2014 so please stay in touch and keep an eye out for updates ...better yet, send in YOUR ski boat photos!
Merry Christmas :)

"BANSHEE"





Spotted course marshalling at the recent V.S.B.C. Eppalock Gold Cup was this gorgeous looking old girl "BANSHEE". I'm reckoning she's a Simpkin? Be great if someone could confirm or correct. Very nice indeed.
