AUSTALGIA ...runabouts from the golden era

 Yarrawonga '64, Boxing Day weekend. The last picture of "VENUS" in this guise. She swapped end-for-end a few times moments after this shot and finished up travelling down the course backwards at some 60mph. Beautiful deck was smashed to pieces along with other hull and engine damage :(

        Les Smith's "WENDY V" on her way to capturing the W.A. open displacement title, Swan River '68.
