  1. Am I correct in recalling that Hi-Fi was a WA speedboat?

    1. "HI-FI" was a Sydney skiff. I'm guessing club flag could be St. George (someone please correct if wrong about flag).
      Many "HI-FI"s over the years and would not be surprised if one was sold to a west coast racer? I'll keep an eye open for more info in the archives.
